Ok, thanks for making that clear, I wasn't aware of that.
But shouldn't the chain of recent root trees kinda allow similar
functionality?

Actually I was using that script as a starting point.. Unfortunately,
the files I was looking for were nowhere to be found..
From a journal-type functionality I was hoping for a way to actually see
the most recent file system actions..
Is there no hope to recreate that information from the roots
btrfs-find-root comes up with?
