How to mount btrfs subvolume, it isn't working / mounting

I just did:

# btrfs subvolume create /@srv 

then:

# btrfs subvolume list / ID 257 gen 73 top level 5 path @ ID 258 gen 71 top level 5 path @home ID 260 gen 65 top level 257 path @srv 

And added to /etc/fstab, like this:

/dev/mapper/fs--1--vg-root /home btrfs defaults,compress=zlib,subvol=@home 0 2 /dev/mapper/fs--1--vg-root /srv btrfs defaults,compress=zlib,subvol=@srv 0 2 

...where /home is the default that come from Ubuntu's installation and /srv is the one that I manually added, based on what I'm seeing "as an example (i.e., /home)".

But it does not mount, look:

# mount /srv mount: mount(2) failed: No such file or directory 

Subdir /srv exists:

# file /srv /srv: directory 

What am I missing?

BTW, the subvolumes @ and @home are okay. But I am unable to create more subvolumes and mount it, side by side with, for example, @home.

Looks like bug - I've stumbled across a similiar problem:

Mounting with subvolid= works.

This should work:

/dev/mapper/fs--1--vg-root /srv btrfs defaults,compress=zlib,subvolid=260 0 2 

Just tried it and found out, that you should specify subvol=/@ or subvol=/@home – with a leading slash.

So, my working /etc/fstab with one automount and one manually mountable subvolume now looks like this:

/dev/sdb /backup btrfs noatime,nodiratime,subvol=/@ 0 0 /dev/sdb /snapshots btrfs noauto,noatime,nodiratime,subvol=/@snapshots 0 0 

Before, I didn't use leading slashes and mount /snapshots failed. Now mount /snapshot works.
