 Addendum 2: There was a short period where you had to specify space_cache=v2 but with release of Debian 12 this is no longer true. Simply specifying space_cache defaults to v2 so it is no longer required to specify the =v2 anymore once again. You can 100% just put space_cache and that is enough. Addendum 2: There was a short period where you had to specify space_cache=v2 but with release of Debian 12 this is no longer true.

-Ok So we just installed Debian stable if you followed the install guide and before updating to Debian testing it would be advantageous to first get timeshift going so that we can roll back no matter what without starting again, even if we totally break the system and its completely borked. **It is possible to create an @home during install but I wanted to show you that fixing a mistake is possible as it is important to know that you should never have to reinstall to fix a problem. All problems can be fixed with enough know how, as in linux everything is just a file on a disk, so if you edit the correct files on the disk and create the correct things then it must work. This is an inescapable truth about linux in general.**+Ok So we just installed Debian stable if you followed the install guide and before updating to Debian testing it would be advantageous to first get timeshift going so that we can roll back no matter what without starting again, even if we totally break the system and its completely borked. **It is possible to create an @home during install but I wanted to show you that fixing a mistake is possible as it is important to know that you should never have to reinstall to fix a problem.

This is an inescapable truth about linux in general. Everything is a file. The only reason something is broken is because you dont have the knowledge on what file(s) to edit to fix it. Never forget this fact. **
  
 So lets first review that our @ subvolume is working after installing and everything is as we expect. Obviously we want the @ subvolume in fstab on the / mountpoint during install but what does that mean? How do we access it? So lets first review that our @ subvolume is working after installing and everything is as we expect.
