      When inspecting or converting a SUSE Linux guest you will often see lots of snapshots reported as root filesystems, eg:

      Dual- or multi-boot operating system detected.  Choose the root filesystem
      that contains the main operating system from the list below:
       [1] /dev/sda2 (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5)
       [2] btrfsvol:/dev/sda2/@/.snapshots/2/snapshot (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5)
       [3] btrfsvol:/dev/sda2/@/.snapshots/3/snapshot (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5)
       [4] btrfsvol:/dev/sda2/@/.snapshots/4/snapshot (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5)
       [5] btrfsvol:/dev/sda2/@/.snapshots/5/snapshot (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5)
       [6] btrfsvol:/dev/sda2/@/.snapshots/6/snapshot (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5)
       [7] btrfsvol:/dev/sda2/@/.snapshots/7/snapshot (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5)
       [8] btrfsvol:/dev/sda2/@/.snapshots/8/snapshot (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5)
      Enter a number between 1 and 8, or ‘exit’: 1
      

      This is technically correct (the best kind of correct), but also not very useful.

      To do: investigate what's going on here, and what we should do about it.
