Create home directory as Btrfs subvolume

ncurses_yast_user_add_btrfs_subvolume

The Create as Btrfs subvolume option has been added in the "Details" tab when adding or editing a user.

Taking into account that it only will be enabled

  • when adding a new user
  • when there is present a Btrfs filesystem

it would be nice to test the scenarios described in below comments, all of them from the "Users" tab of yast users module.

Deleting a user

Previously, create a user with a Btrfs subvolume home.

  • Select the user
  • Delete
  • Check the Delete Home Directory option
    deleting_user_confirmation
  • Yes
  • OK
  • Run "btrfs subvolume list -a path" and check that it does not contain the path to the home directory of deleted user.
    NOTE that path could be / or /home or whatever parent directory where the user home was (pretend to be) created
