I run that command in a cronjob, and it would save me a few emails per day to have it run in a way in which it didn't generate output unless something went wrong.

We're about to add --verbose/--quiet options to every command, no ETA yet.

Comment 2 David Sterba 2022-10-04 13:27:58 UTC

The quiet option is available as global option since 5.7, ie.

# btrfs -q subvolume snapshot source dest

will not print anything.
