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)
- mustache_kimono 4y agoI'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.
- ravi-delia 4y agoIt 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
