 |
|
For example, device "/dev/sda2" is formatted to btrfs, and some subvolumes are created, such as root, home etc.
Is it possible to make root subvolume act as root filesystem ? |

short answer yes, it is.
longer answer:
you need to adapt your grub config
e.g
| Code: | title 2.6.32-gentoo3-1g - Man-Eating Seals of Antiquity
kernel (hd0,0)/linux-2.6.32-gentoo3-1g root=/dev/sda2 rootflags=subvol=system |
where system is the subvol for root.
cheers

By the way, can btrfs be used everyday ? |

I heard that the ODF (on-disk-format) is now kept stable as much as possible. It's up to you to consider it stable enough  |
