Virtual Device Support

[George Mitchell]

One the things that is frustrating me the most at this point from a user 
perspective regarding btrfs is the current lack of virtual devices to 
describe volumes and subvolumes.  The current method of simply using a 
random member device or a LABEL or a UUID is just not working well for 
me.  Having a well thought out virtual device infrastructure would 
greatly simplify use and also relieve problems with util-linux tools.  I 
REALLY DO understand that most if not all btrfs devs at this point are 
working overtime on things much more serious than this issue and I 
REALLY DO have the patience to wait on this one.  But I also REALLY DO 
hope there is some plan for this in the future.  Certainly a lot of 
design for it should already exist within software RAID md code and LVM 
code.
