Your suggested approach precludes removing an old root subvolume while preserving the home subvol, no? In short, this is an expected consequence of the layout we chose. The main feature of this layout is the ability to remove/replace subvolumes that occcupy certain mountpoint (eg: /) while preserving other subvolumes (eg: /home). If your personal preference is the ability to do reflink copies between subvolumes you are free to create a layout to accommodate this. Clearing needs info flag Agreed layout is needed to preserve /home and if desired user can change afterwards. |
