How are your subvolumes arranged?
If you have:
top-level # default subvolume mounted as /
`--- home
`--- usr
`--- var
`--- tmp
and you are mounting / first, then you don't need to mount the
subvolumes, as they're already visible within / I'm not quite sure
what the consequences of mounting a subvolume directly onto itself as
a mountpoint are -- but it may have this effect.
If you have:
top-level
`--- root # default subvolume mounted as /
`--- home
`--- usr
then you should be able to (and have to) mount them separately.
