|  The Jia Tan of Datasets changed their display name from Lizard in a Skin Suit to I won't be a human battery. | 16:40:02 |
 sboe | I figured this out!
of course disko doesn't set usage limits on the subvolumes
and apparently I can't manually make my own swapfile on btrfs because chattr doesn't work.
But btrfs has a subcommand to make swapfiles!
This fixed my issue!
sudo btrfs filesystem mkswapfile --size 16G /.swapvol/swapfile

| sboe | Can disko be used to create new additional btrfs subvolumes? Or do I need to manually create them and add them to my disko config? | 09:58:36 |
 Fernando Rodrigues | The latter, unfortunately. Disko can only alter your disks if you run disko format, which will wipe them as well. | 10:05:28 |
| sboe | Thank you, is there any consideration I have to take when making subvolumes? I'd like it to be consistent with how disko makes it
"/snapshots" = {
mountpoint = "/snapshots";
mountOptions = [ "compress=zstd" "noatime" ];
};
When I sudo btrfs subvolume list /home -t I notice that there are no slashes in the path name
ID gen top level path

 Marie | are you sure? It doesn't do that for zfs from my experience | 11:27:44 |
| Fernando Rodrigues | I wiped my disk entire once when I tried to remove a subvolume. I assume the same happens when you add one. | 11:28:39 |

| Fernando Rodrigues | but hey, only one way to find out. | 11:29:07 |
| sboe | Thanks, don't want to try this, the explanation of format isn't very clear on if it will destroy anything | 12:40:23 |
