Also the metadata-only dump fails with the same ioctl error (-2: No such file 
or directory). 
So I could only upload the stream up the occurence of that failure...

This indeed runs through without failure. 


It seems though that "btrfs send --no-data" which contains full metadata 
anyways contains all filenames (just from a quick look with 'strings'). 
I can probably not remove these without invalidating the stream, though... So 
I'd not like to upload this to some public location. 

However, you gave me an idea. I had a look at the output of running the file 
created by "btrfs send --no-data" piping that through "strings". 
This revealed the last files which btrfs send was able to treat before running 
into the ioctl failure. 
Indeed, this is my thunderbird profile directory, always a place with a lot of 
activity. 

Now the interesting part begins: Since of course I have a backup of this 
directory, I decided to move that profile to another FS and back. 
Turns out I can not run
rm -rf ~/.thunderbird
since it claims "directory not empty". Kernel log does no bug-on or OOPS or 
anything like that. 

That's reproducible not only in the snapshots, but also in my "home" subvolume 
for this folder. 

"stat -c %s" of the supposed-to-be-empty profile directory reveals indeed:
2482

So I guess I should refresh my backups soon and either run "btrfs check 
--repair" or, if that fails, redo the FS... 
Likely btrfs check --repair will fail for me since (due to duperemove usage) 
I'll for sure also be hit by https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155791 
since I'm still using 4.7.1 so I'd like to update to 4.7.2 before trying out 
that repair strategy. 

I sadly can't do that in the next few days since I actively need the machine in 
question, so I'll rename that folder and restore just that from backup for now. 

Is the debug-information still of interest? If so, I can share it (but would 
not post it publicly to the list since many filenames are in there...). 
It weighs in at about 2 x 80 MiB after xz compression. 

Or is there anything else I can try safely? 

Thanks a lot in any case and cheers, 
Oliver
