It is recommended to leave the root volume empty and create a subvolume for the root filesystem which is set with btrfs subvolume set-default, which I have done. What is the recommended way to create subvolumes that are mounted further down the filesystem? Let's say I was usr and var on their own subvolumes. Do I create them in the btrfs root, which means they have to be mounted from /etc/fstab - or do I create hem below the subvolume called root? That raises another question. Assuming I've done it wrong (well, my wife always does) is there an equivalent to the zfs rename command to move or rename a subvolume? --=20 Neil Bothwick Unsupported service (adj): Broken (see Demon) --Sig_/x5=3yNhRUoogaJfvhYrRuVJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlN+IesACgkQum4al0N1GQMyFACgoEXTcAH0QsQk/H5HDjSKzXOt f/MAnj0zH4sv0/yOp2VY6yl+PiJYkcXl =cF37 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/x5=3yNhRUoogaJfvhYrRuVJ--
