snapshot issues
Good afternoon btrfs,
I have been having issues with snapshots not reading the whole file tree below them. I have installed new btrfs-progs from
git://git.darksatanic.net/repo/btrfs-progs-unstable.git
made and installed them. My tree is: /Btrfs |
|__ nfs1 |
|__ data |
|__ sites |
|__ 00xx |
|__ email@addressIf I use btrfsctl -s (btrfs sub snapshot isn't working) snappath-name /btrfs/nfs1 I get a mountable snapshot of nfs1
but data is all that I can see below it. If I btrfsctl -s snappath-name /btrfs/nfs1/data/sites/0000 I can mount /0000 and
get a full list of email@address accounts but none of the files below them. I should have stated earlier, everything down
to and including /email@address are subvolumes. Below /email@address directories and files were rsync'd into the subvol from
an nfs mount. Finally if I snapshot /email@address I have access to all directories and files below them. Because of this I
believe that the issue is with snapshots of subvolumes. I thought I just couldn't see subvols above the snapshot level and was able to see subvols below. Am I confused or is this a real problem. I am using kernel 3.1.0-rc4 and will be happy to trace anything you need if you can tell me how to get what you need. Thanks for your help. Jim

To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
yaarg -- resend w/list included -- changed clients recently (tbird) and cant figure out how to default to replay-all ...
i believe this is expected behavior as of now -- there are a couple threads mentioning recursive snapshotting, check those out. AFAIK a snapshot will not traverse beyond it's own boundaries.

Thank you for that info Anthony, I just wanted to know the expected behavior. In that same vein, when I use btrfs sub list it lists all subvols regardless of whether or not it is given a path argument. Is this current behavior as well. Thanks again. Jim
