Moving snapshots

Hello,

how do I move a (read-only) snapshot?

Simply creating another read-only snap from the first one and then deleting the source works, except that it destroy's the snapshot's identity -- which means that it can't be used as a parent for "btrfs receive" any more. :-(

If you want to move a read-only snapshot to a different directory, '..' changes, and therefore is not a read-only operation.

# btrfs property set -ts /path/to/snapshot ro false
# mv /path/to/snapshot /new/path
# btrfs property set -ts /new/path ro true

worked for me
