I try to take a snapshot of a single directory, e.g. root: > btrfsctl -s root.2010-01-12 /root operation complete Btrfs v0.19-4-gab8fb4c-dirty
Then I take look what's inside the newly created snapshot: > ls -l /root.2010-01-12/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1192 2010-01-03 20:32:12 bin drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 76 2009-06-25 0:40:35 boot drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1756 2010-01-12 2:33:07 cmds drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 2010-01-06 12:21:46 data drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4356 2010-01-12 2:07:00 dev drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 42 2010-01-04 12:29:45 downloads drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4528 2010-01-12 2:12:12 etc drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 52 2010-01-11 12:57:47 home drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 2007-11-10 4:44:07 initrd drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4490 2010-01-05 20:15:53 lib drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 124 2008-04-27 14:53:39 mnt drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 62 2008-01-08 0:21:58 net drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 2008-04-09 3:19:16 objects drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 316 2009-12-28 23:23:13 opt dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 0 2007-11-10 3:35:28 proc drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7676 2010-01-11 0:35:41 root drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 2010-01-12 1:56:17 save drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 2010-01-12 1:55:58 save2 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3804 2010-01-06 2:36:08 sbin drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 2007-11-10 3:35:28 sys drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 358 2010-01-11 18:44:29 tmp drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 176 2009-12-29 17:08:37 usr drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 72 2010-01-05 20:03:00 var It seems that always a snapshot of the root is taken instead one of the specified directory? Is this by design? Snapshotting the root works fine, but if you take several snapshots it's a bit "recursive", because every new snapshot contains all previous snapshots.
