What are Btrfs subvolumes in Linux? Understand how they work and why they are better than traditional partitions with features like snapshots and flexibility.
Does btrfs still slow down the system until freezing, when doing snapshots of the sys subvolume? I never used btrfs again. Imagine, you set a cron for hourly snapshots, and what you get is 2 minutes of freezing every full hour 🙈 I never had that kind of trouble with other snapshotable file systems as sys volume.

What year did you use btrfs?
5-10 years ago it was a mess. It is way better now.
Never experienced that before. I have been on openSUSE for 9 years now, snapshots are pretty much instantaneous.
Never had this. It’s pretty much instanteneous.
I may try again some day, then…
This can happen when gquotas are enabled, thats why gquotas are not recommended with snapshots
I’ll dig into that.
