Note that my own use-case doesn't include send/receive, so the degree to which I can get into specific detail is limited, but as you mentioned sometimes we miss the obvious and need someone else to point it out, so in that spirit, here's a couple obvious things: * Your apparently contrived for posting paths above are relative. Have you tried absolute paths and/or are you certain the relative paths are correctly relative to your current working directory? * src/snp1 is a read-only snapshot, not just a directory, correct? > note: I have sent several queries to this list, but have not heard > anything back.

I see three previous threads (the first starting on March 25) with you as original poster on the list, all of which have followups to the list, one of which has a single followup from you to someone replying to you, from you as well. I don't however see any followups from you to replies on the other two threads, and only the one followup to someone replying on the one thread. So it may be that you're not getting the replies very well. Are you subscribed to the list? While some posters reply directly to author as well, and that's encouraged, some reply only to the list (including me unless specifically asked or there's some other hint, as here, that it may be needed). The other possibility, of course, is that replies are getting spam-binned via gmail or on your end. You may want to check that. Meanwhile, if you're subscribed or are otherwise not getting replies, there's a number of list archives available, see: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfs_mailing_list The mail-archive one is probably easier to use than marc, and the gmane web-based archive is offline, possibly permanently. (Gmane does still have the news-based, that is nntp:// archive available, which I actually read and post thru myself, but the service recently changed hands and there's little information on whether the web service is coming back or not, and without it the news side is likely to eventually die as well.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
