In the Configure Volume panel, change the volume name to something sensible like maybe f20home, check Encrypt, and Size Policy to Fixed. Then click Save. Then click Update Settings. > > 2. Click on /, confirm Device Type is set to Btrfs, then click first on the Volume pop-up and choose to create a new volume and give it a new name. Make sure Encrypt is unchecked. Set size to either Fixed with a particular value or As Large As Possible. Click Save. Click Update Settings. I think the singular thing that's key to making this work: Creating a new Btrfs volume for one of them, with separate names. And optionally what seems to make it work out better is to pin one of them with Size Policy of Fixed, and an explicit size. In theory if you leave the two volumes with Size Policy set to Automatic that it'll still work itself out. But I didn't test leaving both to Automatic. I tested leaving / at Automatic and it actually left a bunch of free space unallocated so I went back and changed its policy to As Large as Possibe. Another key element is clicking Update Settings before you click on any other mount point.
