You can still have this with subvolumes. See btrfs-quota(8).
Yes, a sentence beginning with „You can have this with ….“ is probably true for every IT
topic.
The question is rather whether you can realistically have it in everyday practice.
Workstation WG made BTRFS default with F33. Even now with F35 one year later, where is
easily accessible documentation for a user who wants to install Workstation? Neither the
current Installation Guide nor the Administrator's Guide give any information about
how to handle BTFRS. The complete text is up to date with Fedora 25 or perhaps a bit
later, only minimally updated to subsequent versions.
And I see no Workstation doc listet on docs.fp.o, unlike the other Fedora editions, again,
after a year.
And is there an adapted installation step in Anaconda to expose an option to set a max.
limit (e.g. like to handle the root login - deactivated, key only, . . .) and probably
some other valuable capabilities? I can’t remember to have seen something like that.
Therefore, a user is dependent on clear and informative terminology. And, well,
sub-„volume“ after 32 Fedora releases has a specific meaning.
(And that is one of my issues with those „missionaries“ who fight about their principles,
but don’t care about their flock)
