Hey. Send/receiving the master to the backup has finished just before... and now - not that I wouldn't trust btrfs, the hardware, etc. - I ran a complete diff --recursive --no-dereference over the snapshots on the two disks. The two btrfs are mounted ro (thus no write IO), there is not really any

Hey. Not sure if that's valuable input for the devs, but here's some vague real-world report about performance: I'm just copying (via send/receive) a large filesystem (~7TB) from on HDD over to another. The devices are both connected via USB3, and each of the btrfs is on top of dm-crypt. It's al
