btrfs-subvolume: Create a new empty subvolume.
$ sudo btrfs subvolume create ${path-to-new_subvolume}
try on your machine
The command "sudo btrfs subvolume create ${path-to-new_subvolume}" is used to create a new subvolume in a Btrfs filesystem with administrative privileges (using "sudo").
Here is a breakdown of each component:
- "sudo": This is a command in Unix-like operating systems that allows a user with proper privileges to execute a command as the superuser (or another user).
- "btrfs": This is the command-line interface utility for managing Btrfs filesystems.
- "subvolume": It indicates that the command is related to subvolumes, which are essentially snapshots or separate directories within a Btrfs filesystem.
- "create": This subcommand instructs Btrfs to create a new subvolume.
- "${path-to-new_subvolume}": This is a placeholder for the actual path where the new subvolume will be created. You need to replace it with the desired location on your system, such as "/mnt/btrfs/subvolume1".
By running this command, a new subvolume will be created at the specified path, and you will have administrative privileges over the operation, ensuring that it can be executed successfully.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
