@DrYak Thank you. When I tried BTRFS over the weekend, I missed the InitRD part. (When I used BTRFS years ago, I built it into the kernel, no need for an InitRD.)
So, adding that part to my prior instructions, works. Now I have the ability to perform upgrades in the same partition space. I use this on my kernel command line;
When I update, I will clone "root/20200616" and create a new sub-volume. Boot off it, and then perform the updates. After I have 4 or so OS sub-volumes, I'll delete the oldest. This gives me some backout plans, and some backups of OS files.
