A pool of raw storage. Consists of one or more devices. The size of the volume will be the addition of all included devices, unless you use RAID. | |||
If you do use more then one device, please also read the section about RAID. You are able to add/remove devices at any time. With adding/removing devices it is also possible to move a volume from one device to another (without changing the UID). | |||
Usually you do not mount the btrfs volume itself, but you mount subvolumes. There may be times when it is practical to mount the Btrfs volume itself.Then you are able to change the volume layout. All (writable)subvolumes inside a volume are movable inside the volume with mv. Moving subvolumes will not touch the data, but change the volume layout in an instant. | |||
When not otherwise specified, additionall devices are handeled as a '''B'''unch '''o'''f '''D'''isks. this mean | |||
{{Info|In most cases it is advisable to use only one Btrfs volume}} | |||
