Hello I have created multiple filesystems with btrfs, in all cases directly on the devices themself without creating partitions beforehand. Now, if I open the disks containing the multi-device filesystem in parted it outputs the partion table as loop and shows one partition with btrfs which covers the whole disk. Opening the disk with the single-device fileystem in parted shows a partion table, type unknown and no partition on the disk itself.
I am unsure how to interpret this output. Two possible explanations come to mind: a) Btrfs does create partitions, but only if a filesystem spans multiple devices or b) the output of parted is faulty and no actual partition is created in both cases. Could someone elaborate on this question or just point out where I can find documentation on this issue?
