From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Brian Neu Subject: removing a snapshot that is outside the subvolume directory fails, sorta Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2010 17:11:15 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <593044.1345.qm@web51908.mail.re2.yahoo.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii To: linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org Return-path: List-ID: Well, it fails the way that I'm trying to do it. kernel: 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64 btrfs-progs: btrfs-progs-0.19-9.fc12.x86_64 On a new filesystem: $ cd /mnt/btrfs1 $ btrfsctl -S subvol1 . operation complete Btrfs Btrfs v0.19 $ btrfsctl -s snapofsubvol1 subvol1 operation complete Btrfs Btrfs v0.19 $ btrfsctl -D snapofsubvol1 subvol1 ioctl:: No such file or directory $ btrfsctl -S subvol2 . operation complete Btrfs Btrfs v0.19 --------> # cd subvol2 <------------ $ btrfsctl -s snapofsubvol2 subvol2 operation complete Btrfs Btrfs v0.19 $ btrfsctl -D snapofsubvol2 subvol2 operation complete Btrfs Btrfs v0.19 AHA, I figured it out! $ btrfsctl -D snapofsubvol1 subvol1/.. I don't know if that's the intended syntax or if it's accidental, but I'll go ahead and send this as an FYI if anyone has the same issue. Maybe it's obvious to some, but it wasn't to me.
