Hi, I created btrfs directly to disk using such a scheme (no partitions): dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=4096 mkfs.btrfs -L dev_sda /dev/sda mount /dev/sda /mnt cd /mnt btrfs subvolume create __active btrfs subvolume create __active/rootvol btrfs subvolume create __active/usr btrfs subvolume create __active/home btrfs subvolume create __active/var btrfs subvolume create __snapshots cd / umount /mnt mount -o subvol=__active/rootvol /dev/sda /mnt mkdir /mnt/{usr,home,var} mount -o subvol=__active/usr /dev/sda /mnt/usr mount -o subvol=__active/home /dev/sda /mnt/home mount -o subvol=__active/var /dev/sda /mnt/var # /etc/fstab UID=ID / btrfs rw,relative,space_cache,subvol=__active/rootvol 0 0 UUID=ID /usr btrfs rw,relative,space_cache,subvol=__active/usr 0 0 UUID=ID /home btrfs rw,relative,space_cache,subvol=__active/home 0 0 UUID=ID /var btrfs rw,relative,space_cache,subvol=__active/var 0 0 Everything works fine. Is such a solution is recommended? In my opinion, the creation of the partitions seems to be completely unnecessary if you can use btrfs. I will be grateful for your feedback.
