 Posted: Tue Dec 29, 2015 1:41 pm Post subject: mounting btrfs subvols |
 |
|
Hi all,
I'm fiddling with btrfs on a new system, so I set up a simple partition scheme
/dev/sda1 bios boot
/dev/sda2 ext4 (/boot)
/dev/sda3 swap
/dev/sda4 btrfs root
creating the root subvolume goes well with
| Code: |
mkdir -p /mnt/{btrfs,gentoo}
mount -t btrfs -o defaults,noatime,compress=lzo,autodefrag /dev/sda4 /mnt/btrfs
btrfs subvolume create /mnt/btrfs/root
umount /mnt/btrfs
mount -t btrfs -o defaults,space_cache,noatime,compress=lzo,autodefrag,subvol=root /dev/sda4 /mnt/gentoo
|
Now, when I add a new subvolume with
| Code: | | btrfs subvol create /mnt/gentoo/home |
the /mnt/gentoo/home directory appears and when I mount the volume, the mount command fails
| Code: |
mount -o defauts,space_cache,compress=lzo,subvol=home /dev/sda4 /mnt/gentoo/home
mount: mount(2) failed: No such file or directory
|
What am I missing?

| It is allready mounted. The "Directory" that appears is the subvolume. |

Because it isn't "mounted", that is how btrfs works, if you mount a volume every subvolume beneath it is visible within it.
That is why you probably want to take a look at this guide, for a better layout:
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/SysadminGuide
TL;DR
Use the FS root as container, make subs beneath that and mount them like normal partition. Use the root of btrfs for snapshot management.
Bye
