Default btrfs mount options and subvolume layout

Manjaro Development Calamares

@Chrysostomus I read that the latest Qonos release has optimised Btrfs subvolume configuration.

Swapfile is now created in its own root subvolume. Why?
The only reason to create a subvolume of it is because you need to exclude it from its parent subvolume (@). Isn’t that what nested subvolumes are for?

Also, Calamares is still misleading when selecting BTRFS. Because:

  1. You still have 2 options that don’t make sense: partitioning.
  2. There is no option to correctly setup hibernation. The one that exist uses partitioning. The whole idea of subvolumes is you don’t need a separate partition for swap.

If one wants BTRFS and hibernation, that only place containing the correct info for it is here:
[HowTo] Enable and configure hibernation with BTRFS the script in the first post.

Could the option for “swapfile (with hibernation)” be added and the partition options be disabled when BTRFS is selected? That would make more sense.
