Subject: [newb] move /home to subvolume
Date: Mon, 01 Jun 2015 08:36:40 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <mkhjkp$hgl$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)

I have everything under /:

sudo btrfs subvolume list /
ID 257 gen 65795 top level 5 path root

I want to move /home onto it's own subvolume.  I hope I can do this while 
the root device is mounted.

What is the procedure?

I tried first to create a subvolume for /home at the top-level, but couldn't 
figure out the syntax:

[nbecker@nbecker2 ~]$ sudo btrfs subvolume create /home
[sudo] password for nbecker: 
ERROR: '/home' exists
