Good afternoon btrfs,
I have been having issues with snapshots not reading the whole file tree
below them. I have installed new btrfs-progs from
git://git.darksatanic.net/repo/btrfs-progs-unstable.git
made and installed them. My tree is: /Btrfs |
|__ nfs1 |
|__ data |
|__ sites |
|__ 00xx |
|__ email@address
If I use btrfsctl -s (btrfs sub snapshot isn't working) snappath-name /btrfs/nfs1 I get a mountable snapshot of nfs1
but data is all that I can see below it. If I btrfsctl -s snappath-name /btrfs/nfs1/data/sites/0000 I can mount /0000 and
get a full list of email@address accounts but none of the files below them. I should have stated earlier, everything down
to and including /email@address are subvolumes. Below /email@address directories and files were rsync'd into the subvol from
an nfs mount. Finally if I snapshot /email@address I have access to all directories and files below them. Because of this I
believe that the issue is with snapshots of subvolumes. I thought I just couldn't see subvols above the snapshot level and was able to see subvols below. Am I confused or is this a real problem. I am using kernel 3.1.0-rc4 and will be happy to trace anything you need if you can tell me how to get what you need. Thanks for your help.
Jim

yaarg -- resend w/list included -- changed clients recently (tbird) and
cant figure out how to default to replay-all ...
i believe this is expected behavior as of now -- there are a couple
threads mentioning `recursive snapshotting`, check those out. AFAIK a
snapshot will not traverse beyond it's own boundaries.

Thank you for that info Anthony, I just wanted to know the expected
behavior. In that same vein, when I use btrfs sub list it lists all
subvols regardless of whether or not it is given a path argument. Is
this current behavior as well. Thanks again.
