Installed a new microSD card (64GB Sandisk mSDXC UHS-1) and formatted to btrfs using:

mkfs.btrfs -O ^extref -f /dev/mmcblk1

After reboot the sdcard is mounted under /media/sdcard/<uuid> but I cannot write to it (create a new folder in File Browser, etc.).</uuid>

I found a statement that this should now be corrected in the latest versions:

https://together.jolla.com/question/1112/bug-sd-card-formatted-to-ext4btrfs-is-not-mounted-automatically/?answer=46356#post-id-46356

Seems it's broken now (in 1.1.4.29)..???

Any solutions are very welcome!

Have you checked if the file/folder permissions are in your favour?

Yes, it seems that it was permission related so, thank you chemist! :)

After chown nemo:nemo /media/sdcard/UUID it now works normally.

And no need to make a partition first because it's btrfs.

It would be good if the system would set the correct file permissions for the mount point the first time the sdcard is recognized, so maybe that could be added to the scripts responsible for it.

First of all, you probably want to partition your card with i.e parted or fdisk. And then format /dev/mmcblk1p0 (first partition).

Not with btrfs, there you want to format /dev/mmcblk1 and setup subvolumes if need be.
