renaming read-only subvolumes works fine, as long as you dont move them
to a new directory.
create a ro snapshot, and mv it to a subdir or a parent directory. it
fails with 'Read-only file system'. no nested-subvolumes involved, just
the base and the single snapshot.
is this a bug? is this by design? i cant find any documentation about it
or any bug reports. all i see is the same advice 'just use mv to rename
subvols', 'subvols are basically directories', etc.
this makes re-organizing subvolumes difficult, especially if you
consider send|receive which cannot be snapshotted without breaking the
parent ids. {for normal subvols, making a snapshot and deleting the old
is a sufficient workaround}
