Hello folks!

So I have installed gentoo a few times before so I am not completely new to it. But I am new to managing things like btrfs and or LVM manually.

So my plan is to install Gentoo with btrfs and snapper so that you can boot in to read only snapshots from grub and rollback once booted. This is what Opensuse Tumbleweed does.

I would like to know which btrfs layout and or LVM layout is required for such a setup. I have been able to find some info that I think requires the /boot subvolume to be on the root of the system. Also some say you need to make the .snapshot volume some say you dont and snapper does this. So their is a fair bit of conflicted info about it to get working right.

    Well the Gentoo community felt it was good enough and made the effort to write that doc for you. Unsure what you’ve asked here.

    This seems like one of those questions where the source of truth is telling you it’s not going to happen, but you want a world in which it exists and for help in making that happen.

    Maybe dig in and learn about snapshots and partitioning.
