What I want to do: I want to relocate (move) a subvolume from one BTRFS
volume to a different BTRFS volume.
I have seen the writeup for incremental backup which takes a snapshot,
and then using btrfs-send and btrfs-receive to create a copy on a
different volume. That works fine except the btrfs-receive set the new
copy to be readonly.
What I want to do is to use that new subvolume read/write. The only way
I have figured out to do this is to create another snapshot on the new
volume which is NOT readonly. I believe that means I need to keep both
of these subvolumes around.
As soon as I sent this I believe I found the answer.
I was sort of right about creating the new read-write (NOT readonly)
snapshot. After it is created simply delete the one which was created
by btrfs-receive.
I also found out that if you want to rename a subvolume, siple do it
with "mv" like you would for a directory or a file.
OK folks, do I have it correct?
