Subject: btrfs send requires root
Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2014 11:26:42 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <52E955F2.60608@matthewlai.ca> (raw)

Hello!

I have just started playing with btrfs, and noticed that "btrfs send" 
only works for root (ERROR: failed to initialize subvol search. 
Operation not permitted), even on subvolumes created by the user.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is this the intended behaviour?

My setup (/data is the root subvolume):
mkdir /data/snapshots
btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /data /data/snapshots (creates 
/data/snapshots/data)
btrfs send /data/snapshots/data > /dev/null

Returns:
ERROR: can't perform the search- Operation not permitted
ERROR: failed to initialize subvol search. Operation not permitted

Thanks!
Matthew
