Hi Chris
thanks for taking the time.
The boot subvolume is then set with 'btrfs subvolume set-default' and

Hi,
I'm a contributor of the Arch Linux package mkinitcpio-btrfs [1]. The
goal of this hook is to provide Btrfs rollback support for root
filesystems directly from initrd.
Technically we are using a subvolume to store the root filesystem. The
user can snapshot it entirely and boot from this
