    The functionality is to overcome a limitation of allowing Btrfs to mount two different devices holding the same file-system image and therefore the same file-system ID.

    Will enable A/B partitioning with the same image.

    This is good for stream deck, but also phones, embedded devices like routers, and I imagine some (future?) immutable distros that choose to do A/B like Vanilla OS.

      Maybe we’ll finally see btrfs with compression on the Deck by default. This might help a bit with the storage issues on the 64GB Deck.
