This is very easy because btrfs incorporates a volume manager. You only have to look for a free device. You may use a partition like ''/dev/sdz4'' or you may use a raw device like ''/dev/sdz''. Then add this device to your existing volume with '''btrfs device add'''. You may need to do a '''balance''' afterwards to redistribute some chunks. | This is very easy because btrfs incorporates a volume manager. You only have to look for a free device.
