-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a disc formatted as btrfs, on which is mounted /home. /home/bob is a regular directory. /home/bob/Documents is a btrfs subvolume /home is btrfs root If I do # mv /home/bob /home/bob_original # btrfs subvolume create /home/bob # mv /home/bob_original/* /home/bob/ # rm /home/bob_original will the original subvolume /home/bob/Documents survive this operation, and will it now exist as a subvolume under the new subvolume /home/bob? I realise it's best to create subvolumes progressively from the top of the filesystem tree, but this system originated as an ext4fs which was migrated to btrfs, and some sensible things got missed in all the excitement. ;-) Bob - -- Bob Williams System: Linux 3.11.10-17-desktop Distro: openSUSE 13.1 (x86_64) with KDE Development Platform: 4.13.2 Uptime: 06:00am up 5 days 20:14, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.04, 0.08 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlO2vGQACgkQ0Sr7eZJrmU6CPACgoLTFUxx68+z/H30C5wd/MPe4 6rcAoKpqxoETgkbgMd+MAbHEL7BWpLBs =Cbmm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
