One thing I didn't mention is that before doing the rsync, I
deleted a few snapshot volumes (those were read-only snapshots
of read-only snapshots) and recreated them and that's the ones
I'm rsyncing from (basically, I prepare an area to be rsynced
made of the latests snapshots of a few subvolumes).
