Re: ERROR: cannot find parent subvolume, can't see reason for it.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful and thorough reply.   I 
appreciate this very much.

I have finally been able to work past the issue.  It seems that 
send/receive participates in maintaing some sort of "chain of 
custody/ancestry".  I had been using a pre-existing snapshot at the 
destination instead of sending over an identical original via "btrfs 
send".   This seems to have had the effect of "breaking" that "chain", 
causing send to refuse to use that snapshot as a parent.  When the 
original is sent,  send can use it  as such, and the operation I was 
attempting proceeds without error.

I will try keeping a more careful eye on the archives as you suggest and 
see if I am missing replies.
