Btrfs – How to Manage Btrfs Subvolumes

btrfs

Just a few questions about Btrfs:

  1. Do I have to mount a Btrfs filesystem before creating subvolumes on it?
  2. Can I easily convert an existing directory into a subvolume? (i.e. if I want to make "/home" a separate subvolume can I just go mk_btrfs_subfolder /home (or whatever the command is), instead of having to make a new empty subvolume and copying everything over?

The commands to do the above would be good but not necessary, just yes/no will be fine and I can Google how.

Best Answer

  1. Yes.
  2. No.

At least not at the moment.
