Hi,

I'm just experimenting with btrfs (am currently using btrfs-tools
v0.19). I'm curious about deleting subvolume (and snapshot)
directories.   What exactly is the technical reason why we need a
special command "btrfsctl -D" to delete these?  What's the obstacle
preventing "rmdir" from being used on these?

rmdir returns ENOTEMPTY as of now, there was a patch which i sent some time back to return EPERM to make it more intuitive. I am not sure will it be included.

Since there is another idea of actually implementing the btrfsctl -D part into "btrfs_rmdir"
itself. Never got much time to look into it.

Regards
