	food style edible product 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`	18:23:19

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
SigmaSquadron	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 -- --- --------- ---- 256 87522 5 home 257 87348 5 nix 258 87522 5 persist 259 87283 5 swap`	10:08:55
Marie	are you sure? It doesn't do that for zfs from my experience	11:27:44
