Hello,
i wanted to test the new send/receive feature and i can't manage to send
a snapshot to a file. I always get the error
"ERROR: could not resolve root_id for".
I'm using kernel 3.6-rc1 and the latest btrfs progs from git.
This is what i'm doing:
mount -o subvolid=0,discard,compress=lzo /dev/sda4 /mnt/ROOT_BTRFS
[root@robert-laptop mnt]# /home/robert/ArchLinux/btrfs-progs/btrfs
subvolume list ROOT_BTRFS/
ID 256 top level 5 path btrfs_root <--- my rootfs subvolume
ID 265 top level 5 path btrfs_root-11082012-0023 <--- a "normal"
snapshot"
ID 268 top level 5 path root_send <--- a read only snapshot i try to use
with send
[root@robert-laptop ~]# cd /mnt/ROOT_BTRFS/
[root@robert-laptop ROOT_BTRFS]#
/home/robert/ArchLinux/btrfs-progs/btrfs send root_send > outROOT
At subvol root_send
ERROR: could not resolve root_id for /mnt/ROOT_BTRFS/root_send
Am i somehow misunderstanding how the send/receive feature should work?
My idea is to send the "root_send" snapshot to a file and then replay
that file later on a backup btrfs partition. Once i've done that i can
just send incremental differences to the backup partition. Is that how
"send/receive" is supposed to work?
If you need further information just tell me.
Thanks in advance,
Robert
