It does not look like its the naming convention. Insteads its the fact
that a given subvolume is for the entire root filesystem. So both sda2
and also the 'whatever' subvolume get ->is_root=1.

I can probably add a check somewhere to catch the whatever=="@". A
better fix would be to check if a given subvolume is for the entire
partition.

Furthermore there are appearent bugs in the subvolume parser. Will send
a patch to fix one of them shortly.
