[Adduser-devel] Bug#863751: adduser should be able to create a btrfs-subvol instead of a normal directory for $HOME

[Jakobus Schürz]

Package: adduser
Version: 3.115
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

btrfs is a gread filesystem. But adduser can not create a
btrfs-subvolume for users home. Please add the functionality for
creating a btrfs-subvolume instead of a directory.

Thank you

Jakob
