Hello,

I'm trying to restore a subvolume from a backup, but I'm failing when
I try to setup the replication chain again.

Previously I had disk A and B, where I was sending snapshots from A to
B using "send -c /disk_a/1 /disk_a/2 | receive /disk_b" and so on.
Now disk A failed, so I got a new disk: C.

First I sent the last backup from B to C by running "send disk_b/2 |
receive /disk_c/".

Then my plan was to use disk B as the new main disk, so on disk B, I
created a new snapshot by running "snapshot -r disk_b/2
disk_b/my_volume".
Now I want to send "disk_b/my_volume" to disk C, so that I can set
disk_b/2 to RW and start using it again, but the last send fails with
"ERROR: cannot find parent subvolume".

Disk B:
root@tillberga: /backup #> btrfs subvol sh snapshots/user_data_2018-02-17/
snapshots/user_data_2018-02-17

Disk C:

Disk B has UUID 93433261-d954-9f4b-8319-d450ae079a9a, and disk C has
"Received UUID: 93433261-d954-9f4b-8319-d450ae079a9a". I think that's
alright?

The new snapshot on disk B looks as following:
root@tillberga: /backup #> btrfs subvol sh user_data_test
user_data_test
Name: user_data_test
UUID: bf88000c-e3a6-434b-8f69-f5ce2174227e

Received UUID: 014fc004-ae04-0148-9525-1bf556fd4d10
Flags: readonly
Snapshot(s):

But when I'm trying to send it, I'm getting the following:
root@tillberga: /backup #> btrfs send -v -c
snapshots/user_data_2018-02-17 user_data_test | ssh user@hedemora
"sudo btrfs receive -v /btrfs/"

parent_ctransid=52373
At snapshot user_data_test
ERROR: cannot find parent subvolume

Note that the receiver says
"parent_uuid=014fc004-ae04-0148-9525-1bf556fd4d10". Not really sure
where that comes from, but disk B has the same, so maybe that's the
UUID of the original snapshot on disk A?

Is it possible to continue to send incremental snapshots between these
two file systems, or must I do a full sync?
