If you have /boot on a btrfs, you ought to be slapped upside the head. :p I'd say we disregard setups with submounts (other than /boot and /home) for now. Having to handle those as well will get complex.

:) I don't have so far, but I was thinking about it. Wouldn't it be nice to have a matching kernel for both the backup and the updated subvol? Bye, Christoph

I agree. /boot on btrfs should be considered a valid scenario and be supported. There are bootloaders that handle btrfs (at least syslinux does, maybe grub2, too?).
