Hello experts,
quick question about btrfs send/receive:
Is btrfs send/receive is prone to cause destination filesystem
corruption/failure, when the source file system is bogus (due to bugs,
or due to other factors like memory bit-flips happening, both *within*
the source file system)?
Or asked differently: does send/receive transfer metadata/tree (which
may be corrupt) from source to destination?
I would like to know if send/receive is a *completely* appropriate to
backup data to a destination btrfs filesystem, or if there is a - even a
one in a million - chance it may corrupt the destination FS. Would it be
preferable to use a non-btrfs destination FS for backup purposes? What
do you guys think?
Also, if I understand correctly, checksum are not transferred through
send/receive, therefor a corruption while transferring is possible (just
like with rsync), right?
Thanks,
Lukas
