Hi there! I asked one or two years ago for the ability of btrfs to use btrfs send|receive with a parent-subvolume from a snapshot from a snapshot. The thing is, if i take a snapshot from my system, transfer it with btrfs send|receive to an external HD on USB-Port, make some changes to my system, which destroy my whole system, i can boot in the former taken snapshot and work from there, as if nothing happened. This part works. BUT if i take a snapshot from the system, and want to transfer it to the external HD, i can not set a parent subvolume, because there isn't any. The problem was on my last question, there are missing tansactional-numbers or something similar... I'm not a programmer, but i use btrfs very extensive and wrote a fancy python-script and a gnome-shell-extension and a fuse-filesystem to do enhanced and userfriendly snapshots an backups with btrfs - also for non-programmer users... something similar userfriendly as time-machine for apple does. And one missing feature is the described problem above... booting into an older snapshot and transfer a snapshot from this one lead to a full transfer - even if there is a transferred snapshot on the external HD. I hope, i described my problem understandable... regards Jakob -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
