Btrfs system wont boot from the default subvolume?

Did you already read [HowTo] Manual rollback with btrfs ?

What i do when i rollback:

  • mount / of btrfs (to /mnt/…)
  • move /@ to “/@old
  • create a writable snapshot of /@my_snapshot_that_i_want_to_restore to /@
  • change the “default” so it points to the new /@ (may be optional)
  • reboot into the system

A few days later i delete snapshot “/@old


  1. I always keep the readonly-snapshot that is my good state
    So i can do any number of rollbacks
  2. I always use /@ as my actuall system
    This prevents problems with nested snapshots and snapper
