Came about in this discussion on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/btrfs/comments/1bkqor2/received_uuid_error_after_btrfs_send/
Thanks for forwarding the question and the suggestion. I've added more text so it's clear and points to the manual page that tells more about the received_uuid and subvolume ro/rw status. The erro message is long but I guess 'more is better'.
error(
"cannot flip ro->rw with received_uuid set, use force option -f if you really want unset the read-only status."
" The value of received_uuid is used for incremental send, consider making a snapshot instead."
" Read more at btrfs-subvolume(8) and Subvolume flags.");
Hi, when trying to set an ro snapshot to rw, you get the following error:
ERROR: cannot flip ro->rw with received_uuid set, use force if you really want that
In prop set --help the -f option reads: force the change, could potentially break something
The error at least should reflect the current behaviour where the received_uuid is unset, but perhaps both need revising?
Something more like?
ERROR: cannot flip ro->rw with received_uuid set, use -f to force unset.
or maybe something more advisory?
ERROR: cannot flip ro->rw with received_uuid set, use -f to force unset. received_uuid is used for incremental send. Consider making a snapshot instead.
