If you wanna make a used directory a subvolume, you have to move the contents first, and move them back after creation. The only thing that takes time here is the move
minus-square0x4E4F@infosec.pubOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-22 years agoYeah, but Timeshift uses the Ubuntu style subvolume naming, @ for root, @home for /home, so you have to create them that way, otherwise, it won’t work. It can work if you tell it to ignore home, but checks for @ as root on start up.

minus-square0x4E4F@infosec.pubOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-22 years agoI haven’t tried it. Does it have like daily, weekly, monthly snapshots setup?
minus-squareMiku Luna \ she/it@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoYou can have hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. I also use snap-pac to make snapshots before and after pacman transactions. Check out https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Snapper
minus-squareDomi@lemmy.secnd.melinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-22 years agoCheck out Btrfs Assistant. It does what Timeshift does with a similar UI but works with any subvolume layout.
