I made a mistake and copied data in the root of a new btrfs filesystem.
I created a subvolume, and used mv to put everything in there.
Something like:
cd /mnt
btrfs subvolume create dir
mv * dir

Except it's been running for over a day now (ok, it's 5TB of data)

Looks like mv is really copying all the data as if it were an entirely
different filesystem.

Is there not a way to short circuit this and only update the metadata?

Thanks,
Marc
