I'm afraid this is the expected behaviour. btrbk does not perform checks on the snapshot_dir, mainly because it can also be a regular directory, and then it will not show up on btrfs subvol list
then. This would complicate things on ssh sources, so I decided not to implement checks on this.
Note that there are also other use cases where snapshot creation may fail, and as long as btrfs-progs does not provide a "dry-run" functionality itself, it is almost impossible to really check for all possible errors of the btrfs commands.
I've been thinking of implementing a "btrbk check" action which would do all kind of checking, but for now this is simply "functions as expected"...
from btrbk.
OK but should it not at least check for the exitense of it by doing a sinple ls or in some other way whether or not it's a subvolume would be irrelevant really just a though
from btrbk.
Originally, I wanted btrbk to depend only on the btrfs
command (which makes it much easier to setup a chroot on ssh for example). As btrbk grows, I might need to change this, e.g. for a new "checkconfig" action.
