I just wanted to clone a btrfs with many snapshots and at the same time
be able to mount both original and clone on the same computer.
(I did not even try because I dont know what kind of pain the duplicate
uuids will cause)
Is there a known way to re-UUID such a cloned btrfs?
I don''t really "need" the ctime, its just convenient for
looking whats
new in some folder - wget adjusts the mtime and unix/linux lacks the
"file creation time" time stamp.
Greetings,
Karl
