Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Sender: linux-btrfs-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: I am trying to do a "send -p src/snp1 src/snp2 dst/" and getting the following error: ERROR: cannot find parent subvolume The "src/snp1" is present in both "src/" and "dst/". The "src/snp2" is present in "src/" . The send works when "-p" is not used, but will not work when it is. I imagine I am missing something obvious but cannot see what, and would appreciate some suggestions on what might be causing the error. note: I have sent several queries to this list, but have not heard anything back. I hope they have not been inappropriate. If so, I would be grateful if you would let me know, or if there is somewhere else I should be going for advice. I have had pretty good luck with the basics of btrfs and have high hopes for it. I do seem to be having some difficulty getting much beyond basic functionality with small flat filesystem layouts, and will soon have to revert back to ext4 for some of the more complex functionality I made use of under that. I look forward to seeing what further progress might be had with btrfs, and hope to be able to use it in a few years time.
