Subject: How to mount a subvolume?
Date: Sat, 9 Jan 2010 15:07:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100109150757.1051fd79@simplux> (raw)
First thanks alot to Kay and Goffredo!
But I have another question.
I read that the current tools cannot display subvolumes, but one should still
be able to mount them. If I try I get an error message:
> mount -t btrfs -o subvol=root.2010-01-07 /dev/sda3 /save
mount: /dev/sda3 is not a valid block device
root.2010-01-07 is a snapshot of the /root-directory
/save is an empty directory used for mounting backups
taken (successfully) with the following command:
> btrfsctl -s root.2010-01-07 /root
What am I doing wrong? Isn't it possible to mount the whole filesystem and a
subvolume at the same time?
Greetings, Michael
