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.

Does the subdirectory/srvexists? mount needs the target directory to already exist before the partition/subvolume can be mounted there.

Yes,/srvis somehow a "default" directory that always exists in a fresh install.

So, this might be a BUG. But against which package should I register it at Launchpad.net?

Why do you seem to be mounting an LVM VG (volume group)? Shouldn't you be mounting an LV (logical volume)? I'm currently not at my workstation that has LVM and BTRFS right now, so I can't check whether the mapper name should look like (/dev/mapper/fs--1--vg-root), but they look odd. If I recall correctly, in my workstation the BTRFS is mounted with the LV's UUID. I believe you can also mount with the/dev/vgblah/lvbleh, but I've never tried mounting it with /dev/mapper. From a quick search, the naming convention used by device mapper for an LV seems to be/dev/mapper/vgblah-lvbleh.

Hey Ryan! I've updated the question, I added the /home partition that come from installation, I've used it as an example, and it mounts using /dev/mapper, so, I tried to copy it as an example. Still doesn't work... I'm wondering here... Are you able to mount a BTRFS subvolume created by you after the installation?

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

Does the subdirectory
/srvexists? mount needs the target directory to already exist before the partition/subvolume can be mounted there.– Lie Ryan

Yes,
/srvis somehow a "default" directory that always exists in a fresh install.– ThiagoCMC

So, this might be a BUG. But against which package should I register it at Launchpad.net?

Why do you seem to be mounting an LVM VG (volume group)? Shouldn't you be mounting an LV (logical volume)? I'm currently not at my workstation that has LVM and BTRFS right now, so I can't check whether the mapper name should look like (/dev/mapper/fs--1--vg-root), but they look odd. If I recall correctly, in my workstation the BTRFS is mounted with the LV's UUID. I believe you can also mount with the
/dev/vgblah/lvbleh, but I've never tried mounting it with /dev/mapper. From a quick search, the naming convention used by device mapper for an LV seems to be/dev/mapper/vgblah-lvbleh.– Lie Ryan

Hey Ryan! I've updated the question, I added the /home partition that come from installation, I've used it as an example, and it mounts using /dev/mapper, so, I tried to copy it as an example. Still doesn't work... I'm wondering here... Are you able to mount a BTRFS subvolume created by you after the installation?
