I was just experimenting with snapshots on 4.9.0, and came across some
unexpected behavior.
The simple explanation is that if you snapshot a subvolume, any files in the
subvolume that have the NOCOW attribute will not have that attribute in the
snapshot. Some further testing indicates that this is the only file
attribute that isn't preserved (I checked all the chattr flags that BTRFS
supports).
Huh, I can't reproduce this with 4.9.8 or 4.10rc7. systemd sets
journal files with chattr +C, and I do manual snapshots of rootfs
periodically, and those snapshots have journal files that have +C
still set.
Just tested on a different filesystem, and I'm not seeing it there
either, I'll take a closer look at the FS I saw this on and see if I can
figure out what's up.
