Hi, I'm new to btrfs, just dipping my toes in the water...
I've got two partitions, / on /dev/sda2 and /home on /dev/sda3, both formatted as btrfs in a new openSUSE 13.1 installation. I copied the whole of /home (4 users) into the btrfs formatted /home partition from an ext4 backup. I would like to create snapshots of /home/user/Documents for example, but I understand these have to be subvolumes first. Googling tells me I can't convert a conventional subdirectory into a subvolume, so I'm guessing I'll have to create a new /home/user/Documents subvolume and then copy all the contents from the subdirectory. Correct? Then delete the subdirectory? Can the subvolume have the same name as the subdirectory it is replacing, or should it be called something like 'tempDocs', and then renamed back to 'Documents' after the original has gone?
