Help: No snapshot found, but there's snapshots

[Kayxue]

But I have already checked /.snapshots folder: How to solve the problem? I have already tried my best to found any related issue or discussion, but I think I found no issue and no Discussions can help me to solve this systemctl edit --full grub-btrfsd:

System: Arch Linux ARM DE: Hyprland Now all snapshots in /.snapshots are generated by snapper.

I'm having a similar issue. #100 is the only thing I could find that's relevant, but that seems like it was resolved and is somewhat out-of-date now (from what I can tell there was a more long-term fix for #100 that got incorporated later). The snapshots appear in /.snapshots/ but grub-btrfs doesn't detect them. All my snapshots are generated by snapper as well.

System: EndeavourOS DE: KDEPlasma

I wonder if it has anything to do with the ${prefix}/grub-btrfs.cfg file's existence (or lack thereof). As far as I can tell, prefix gets set to /usr, and at least on my system there's no grub-btrfs.cfg file in /usr (or I think anywhere else). But maybe prefix gets set to something different somewhere else and I missed it, or maybe grub-btrfs.cfg isn't important, or maybe there's something else entirely. I'm not especially knowledgeable about this type of thing, so I could be way off. I wouldn't know how to fix any of this though, even if it was the case.

Most problems are fixed by installing grub-btrfs-git from the AUR.

I just tried this, and it didn't work either, same exact issue

If you run btrfs subvolume list -sa / does it list the snapshots?

Yep, it shows a lot of snapshots, here are the first few for reference:

I was playing around with some things (not all related to this) and borked my computer to where it's having trouble booting at all. I've tried a couple fixes and have an interesting update. grub-btrfs now detects (I think the most recent) 5 or so snapshots (out of ~100 or so), and I'm able to boot to these. I'm still not able to boot normally, but I don't think that's related to grub-btrfs. I'll keep trying to fix my boot issue, but maybe something happened to where grub-btrfs works now? I'm not exactly sure, but I'll give an update in a few days.

Well, I didn't have much luck trying to fix my boot issue, so I ended up reinstalling the OS. Now this package works though! I know that's not an especially helpful solution, but it worked in my case.

If you run the command I suggested above now, is the output formatted differently?

I still have the feeling this is related to different versions of btrfs-progs with different output formats. The output from the command above is parsed by grub-btrfs to get a list of snapshots. It then mangles this list into a grub submenu.

It looks basically the same, though the "top level 5" snapshots (the two that end in just @) aren't in the list now (again just the first few; there are about 40 but they all follow this pattern):
