REQUIREMENTS FOR A ROLLBACK FROM A BOOTABLE SNAPSHOT:

https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP4/html/SLES-all/cha-snapper.html#id-1.3.3.11.9.7

I have a concern about this part of the docs:

---%>---
* The root file system needs to be on a single device, a single partition and a 
  single subvolume. Directories that are excluded from snapshots such as /srv (see 
  Section 10.1.3, “Directories that are excluded from snapshots” for a full list) 
  may reside on separate partitions.
---%<---

It is not clear what 'and a single subvolume' means here. Our BTRFS root filesystem is composed of multiple subvolumes, thus such a statement seems odd.

Please clarify so it is easy understandable. Thank you.
