Hello Garuda users.

I want to do this:

have opt as a subvolume.
(etc/fstab)
UUID=5fbd1add-9f9f9f-492d-bf66-9f61355d7cdc /opt btrfs subvol=/@opt_,noatime,compress=zstd,discard=async,ssd 0 0

I have been doing some research and I understand that I need to create a subvolume
is this the correct way?
sudo btrfs subvolume create @opt

If I reboot in theory this should work fine?

Yes, except you have an underscore after the subvolume name in /etc/fstab which is not in the subvolume name you noted. The rest looks fine.

If there is already content in /opt you should first move it away and then move it into the subvolume, when it is mounted.

I think you would first have to mount your root partition, maybe at /mnt/data, cd to /mnt/data and the run sudo btrfs subvolume create @opt
