Hi Hugo, Thanks for the earlier help.
I needed some more help please. I created a BTRFS partition on /dev/sda3. To verify, the output of df -T command: e /dev/sda1 fuseblk 102396 25180 77216 25% /run/media/atri/System Reserved /dev/sda3 btrfs 331637760 120 317977536 1% /run/media/atri/02fad498-f636-410e-a4bf-4d91428b9106 After this, I am trying to create a folder on the partition. How do I do that? I tried : [atri@AtriServer ~]$ sudo btrfs subvolume create /dev/sda3/ Create subvolume '/dev/sda3' ERROR: cannot create subvolume - Inappropriate ioctl for device Please help.
