Btrfs subvolumes not listed in hardware config?

I installed NixOS using the automated installer, and I chose btrfs as file type for the root partition.
When I look in “hardware-configuration.nix” I don’t see subvolumes.
But when I look in Btrfs Assistant, I see several subvolumes.
I am a bit confused, because the last time I did a btrfs installation, the subvolumes were declared in the hardware config.

I want a home subvolume so I can do snapshots of it with btrbk but my snapshots are not working.
Maybe the problem is that home is top level, and not nested? If so, can I fix that? Or is it reinstall time? :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth:

sudo btrfs subvolume list -p /   
ID 256 gen 484 parent 5 top level 5 path @
ID 257 gen 10 parent 5 top level 5 path @home
ID 258 gen 105 parent 256 top level 256 path srv
ID 259 gen 68 parent 256 top level 256 path var/lib/portables
ID 260 gen 68 parent 256 top level 256 path var/lib/machines
ID 261 gen 483 parent 256 top level 256 path tmp
ID 262 gen 438 parent 256 top level 256 path var/tmp

This is from Btrfs Assistant:

@
@/srv
@/tmp
@/var/lib/machines
@/var/lib/portables
@/var/lib/tmp
@home

This is from hardware config:

    };

  nixpkgs.hostPlatform = lib.mkDefault "x86_64-linux";

}

This is the log for btrbk. It doesn’t see my home subvolume.

If I remember correctly, my subvolumes were not automatically added to hardware-configuration.nix and I had to add them manually. Did you try that?

Well, I “successfully” created a snapshot of home, but now that I looked inside the snapshot, I see it is completely empty and has zero bytes.
Maybe the @home subvolume exists but is not populated?
