Description

What: The underlying technology, fanotify, used by Elastic Endpoint (Defend) to provide Malware Protections is incapable of monitoring btrfs subvolumes. However, fanotify is capable of monitoring the root of the subvolumes. Some customer configurations only mount btrfs subvolumes, and we would like documentation instructing them to mount the root volume as well.

Here's an unrelated product, fatrace, experiencing the same issue and a discussion of what to do: martinpitt/fatrace#3 (comment).
