Re: No files in snapshot

Can you share any update on this issue?

-------------------------------

Hi,

I was thinking of this, too. But it does not apply.
root@ld5507:~# btrfs su list -to /var/lib
ID      gen     top level       path
--      ---     ---------       ----
root@ld5507:~# btrfs su list -to /var
ID      gen     top level       path
--      ---     ---------       ----

And there are files in other directories:
root@ld5507:~# ls -l /.snapshots/158/snapshot/var/lib/ceph/mgr/ceph-ld5507/
insgesamt 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 ceph ceph 61 Mai 28 14:33 keyring

root@ld5507:~# ls -l /.snapshots/158/snapshot/var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-ld5507/
insgesamt 12
-rw------- 1 ceph ceph  77 Mai 28 14:33 keyring
-rw-r--r-- 1 ceph ceph   8 Mai 28 14:33 kv_backend
-rw-r--r-- 1 ceph ceph   3 Aug 23 09:41 min_mon_release
drwxr-xr-x 1 ceph ceph 244 Aug 26 18:37 store.db

Only this directories 
/.snapshots/158/snapshot/var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-<id>/ are empty:
root@ld5507:~# ls -l /.snapshots/158/snapshot/var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-219/
insgesamt 0

To create a snapshot I run this command:
snapper create --type single --description "validate 
/var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-<n>"
