N/A - This is an installer issue
Issue/Bug Description:
When installing Pop!_OS with BTRFS as the root filesystem using custom partitioning, the installer does not automatically create the expected @ subvolume structure. This causes issues with Timeshift, which requires the @ subvolume to function properly. After installation, sudo btrfs subvolume list / shows no subvolumes created.
Steps to reproduce (if you know):
Start Pop!_OS installation
Choose custom partitioning
Select BTRFS as filesystem for root partition
Complete installation
After first boot, run sudo btrfs subvolume list / to verify absence of @ subvolume
Expected behavior:
The installer should automatically create an @ subvolume for root when BTRFS is selected as the filesystem, similar to other Linux distributions using BTRFS.
Other Notes:
This requires manual post-installation configuration to create the @ subvolume structure for Timeshift to work properly
The fix requires creating an @ subvolume, copying the entire root filesystem into it, modifying fstab, and updating boot parameters
This could be particularly challenging for users who want to use Timeshift for system snapshots
