btrfs

Hi! I'm learning how to use btrfs and I need some advice.

One one of my desktop, I made the mistake of creating 2 partitions, one for /(root) and one for home. Both are btrfs. I didn't know that I could use subvolumes so that they could share the same physical space.

My question: How can I merge the root and home btrfs partitions into only 1 partition that would use btrfs subvolumes?

I'm looking for something like that:

• Partition1 (btrfs)
  • subvolume 1: @root (mounted to /)
  • subvolume 2: @home (mounted to /home)
• Partition 2, 3, 4...

My current setup:

• 1 physical hard drive (1 TB), shown as sda below
• The partitions I want to merge are sda7 and sda8
• That computer is an iMac also running MacOS so it has a few other partitions that I should not touch

$ lsblk
