Public bug reported: btrfs can see subvolumes but can't manipulate them. For example I can list subvolumes:
sudo btrsfs subvol list / ID 385 gen 77889 top level 5 path @ ID 416 gen 77410 top level 5 path @apt-snapshot-release-upgrade-wily-2015-10-23_23:25:25 ID 417 gen 77742 top level 5 path @apt-snapshot-2015-10-23_23:25:26 ID 418 gen 77412 top level 417 path @apt-snapshot-2015-10-23_23:25:26/@ ID 419 gen 77413 top level 5 path @apt-snapshot-2015-10-23_23:25:27 But I cant delete them: sudo btrfs subvol delete /@apt-snapshot-release-upgrade-wily-2015-10-23_23:25:25 ERROR: error accessing '/@apt-snapshot-release-upgrade-wily-2015-10-23_23:25:25' Even if I mount rootfs in another mountpoint: sudo mount /dev/mapper/system-root /mnt/ sudo btrfs subvol delete /mnt/@apt-snapshot-release-upgrade-wily-2015-10-23_23:25:25 ERROR: error accessing '/mnt/@apt-snapshot-release-upgrade-wily-2015-10-23_23:25:25' I can't see subvolumes in root directory, I see files in subvolumes. ls /mnt/ bin dev initrd.img lib32 mnt root srv usr vmlinuz.old boot etc initrd.img.old lib64 opt run sys var core home lib When I'm boot live Ubuntu 15.04 from CD I can manipulate subvolumes with no problems.
