Thanks Eugen,

after enabling debugging temporarily, I have seen an error in the logs when 
creating the snapshot with mkdir snapshot in .snap including a suspicious line

mds.0.server is a descendent of a subvolume dir

Indeed, when doing a snapshot on the root folder of the filesystem (which 
works), the log files tell me the inode of the root directory and

ceph daemon mds.MDSID dump inode 0x1 (for the root folder)

outputs many information in json, including

„is_subvolume“: true

Indeed, for a different filesystem, where snapshots work as expected in root 
folder and subfolders, the same corresponding information from the root inode 
says „is_subvolume“: false.

How can the root folder in a filesystem be a subvolume and what can I do to fix 
this? Also I am puzzled what has caused this problem…

Thanks,

Sophonet
