# Btrfs internal disk

- Wiping the fs metadata

```bash
sudo wipefs -af /dev/sdx
```

- Creating partition scheme

```bash
sudo fdisk /dev/sdx
```

g -> n [enter until done] -> w.  
`fdisk -l /dev/sdx` should now display /dev/sdx1 as a partition.

- Creating fs with a default subvolume, for easy extension in the future

```bash
sudo mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdx1
sudo mount /dev/sdx1 /mnt
sudo btrfs subvolume create /mnt/default
sudo btrfs subvolume set-default /mnt/default
```

- Giving user with UID 1000 ownership of the mounted path

```bash
sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /mnt
ls -l / | grep mnt # This should be owned by you (assuming UID 1000)
sudo umount /mnt
ls -l / | grep mnt # This should be owned by root after unmount
```

- Editing /etc/fstab

```bash
lsblk -o Name,Label,Size,UUID # Identify the UUID of the new btrfs partition
```

- Creating desired mountpoint, (/storage, for example)

```bash
sudo mkdir /storage
```

- In /etc/fstab, insert the line:

```bash
UUID=<YOUR UUID> /storage btrfs compress=zstd:1,rw,nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show,x-gvfs-name=<DESIRED NAME IN UI> 0 0
```

- Verification
`sudo mount -a`
