Hello. One more Q re generic BTRFS behaviour. https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page specifically advertises BTRFS's "Space-efficient packing of small files".
So far (on ext3/4) I have been using two partitions for small/regular files (like my source code repos, home directory with its hidden config subdirectories etc) and big files (like downloaded Linux ISOs, VMs etc) under some sort of understanding that this will help curb fragmentation -- frankly I'm not a professional sysadmin in some company or such so my assumption may not be valid. In any case, since BTRFS effectively discourages usage of separate partitions to take advantage of subvolumes etc, and given the above claim to the FS automatically handling small files efficiently, I wonder if it makes sense any longer to create separate subvolumes for such big/small files as I describe in my use case?
