Hello Experts,
We have SLES12 Virtual Machine with default partitioning as shown below,

One of the partitions under / is /var/tmp which is residing on /dev/sda2.This we wish to move under /home(which is bigger than /var/tmp) due to space contraints. /home is residing on /dev/sda3.

The partitions are having btrfs filesystem. I am new to btrfs filesystem. I read that with btrfs one can easily move / migrate the underlying partitions or subvolumes. so not sure what will be the best case method to achieve this so that /var/tmp will be accessible under /home and the device ids (UUID) will also be taken care of.
Any pointers will be helpful.
Thanks.
