Feels like low hanging fruit given the great usability improvements they can bring. 100% agree. Definitely a QoL tool for the ZFS lover. The zsh key bindings open up uses I never really even dreamed up, because it's just so quick to get to a usable interface. Definitely also a very UNIX-y tool too. Recently I started fiddling with piping to git repos and tar archives and it's very cool -- see: https://github.com/kimono-koans/httm#example-usage https://github.com/kimono-koans/httm#example-usage > Wondering if btrfs will get some love too. btrfs makes this exact thing harder, but, cross fingers, the btrfs devs are listening, because I think btrfs folks would love a ".btrfs" directory like the ".zfs" directory.

I at least, and I suspect a lot of desktop btrfs users, keep all my snapshots in a specific "folder" I keep mounted in ./.snapshots. It's sort of a hack, but so long as the file structure stays mostly the same it shouldn't be too difficult to whip up something like this for btrfs. Definitely not as good, but hey, it's btrfs! If I wanted good I'd be on zfs anyway (I kid, I kid)

  I'm keeping my eye on it. Definitely less appealing when I can't make it work in all use cases. If you wanted to file an issue and you could perhaps explain (I need your expertise!) how to parse the correct sub volume mount points from `mount` or `btrfs` or whatever command to make this work consistently for all cases, I'd jump right on it.

    It would surprise me very much if there was a way to automatically grab the necessary info. I'll try and whip something up which just takes user config, but I doubt it'll be good enough for general consumption (or if good enough for general consumption is possible on btrfs). Like I said lol, a hack of the crudest order
