The first installment in this two-partseries looked at the difficulties that arise when Btrfs filesystemscontaining subvolumes are exported via NFS. Btrfs has a couple of quirksthat complicate life in this situation: the use of separate device numbersfor subvolumes and the lack of unique inode numbers across the filesystemas a whole.
