Thank you for your reply.

I tried moving file/directory/subvolume across subvolumes,
and found it worked. In source code of btrfs_rename, it's
already checked if 'from' directory and 'to' directory are
under a same root or not except a root object. If not
matched, btrfs_rename returns with -EXDEV but it seems mv
command treats it properly. Even if in no-check case (root
object case), I tried but found no serious problem.

I wonder renaming subvolumes across subvolumes does not
completely work yet in some points I cannot found, or
btrfs_rename works without returning -EXDEV.

Could you tell me how should we check when renaming
subvolumes?

taruisi
