...create a snapshot of the root filesystem before calling the aptitude. After the end of aptitude a double call to sync, flush all the data on the disk. Finally the snapshot is removed. The root of my filesystem is a btrfs subvolume (not the real root one). Inspired by ArchLinux I called it "__active", and it is placed on the real root of the btrfs filesystem. In order to manage the subvolume and its snapshots I mount the real root of the btrfs filesystem under /var/btrfs Before running aptitude my script creates a snapshot of "__active" subvolume called "__rollback&quot...

Hello, This is the second attempt to bring in cross subvolume reflinks into btrfs. The first attempt was NAKed due to missing vfs mount checks and a clear description of what btrfs subvolumes are and probably also why cross subvolume reflinks are ok in the case of btrfs. This version of the patch comes from David and is in SUSE kernels since a long time, so it is tested and working. The patch
