Guilherme's previous work [1] aimed at the mounting of cloned devices using a superblock flag SINGLE_DEV during mkfs. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20230831001544.3379273-1-gpiccoli@igalia.com/ Building upon this work, here is in memory only approach. As it mounts we determine if the same fsid is already mounted if then we generate a random temp fsid which shall be used the mount, in memory only not written to the disk. We distinguish devices by devt. Example: $ fallocate -l 300m ./disk1.img $ mkfs.btrfs -f ./disk1.img $ cp ./disk1.img ./disk2.img $ cp ./disk1.img ./disk3.img $ mount -o loop ./disk1.img /btrfs $ mount -o ./disk2.img /btrfs1 $ mount -o ./disk3.img /btrfs2 $ btrfs fi show -m Label: none uuid: 4a212b48-1bec-46a5-938a-783c8c1f0b02 Total devices 1 FS bytes used 144.00KiB devid 1 size 300.00MiB used 88.00MiB path /dev/loop0 Label: none uuid: adabf2fe-5515-4ad0-95b4-7b1609218c16 Total devices 1 FS bytes used 144.00KiB devid 1 size 300.00MiB used 88.00MiB path /dev/loop1 Label: none uuid: 1d77d0df-7d92-439e-adbd-20b9b86fdedb Total devices 1 FS bytes used 144.00KiB devid 1 size 300.00MiB used 88.00MiB path /dev/loop2 Co-developed-by: Guilherme G.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
