Sorry if my question wasn't clear: I wanted to know how to move a subvol to appear under another subvol other than its original parent. Turns out that sudo mv @ @home target/ is quite sufficient. If so why would the Ubuntu wiki require that set-default not be used? Just @ @home need to be moved to the new place, no? > Note that you can't mount subvols recursively in one mount AFAIK. I'm not sure what you mean. I have a few subvols in my external HDD which is entirely formatted as BtrFS and if I just mount the external HDD /dev/sdc1 I am able to access all the subvols' contents as well. -- Shriramana Sharma ஶ்ரீரமணஶர்மா श्रीरमणशर्मा -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
