The received subvolumes are stored +into <mount>. + +*btrfs receive* will fail with the following case: + +1. a receiving subvolume already exists. + +2. a previously received subvolume was changed after it was received. + +3. default subvolume is changed or you don't mount btrfs filesystem with +fs tree. + +After receiving a subvolume, it is immediately set to read only. + +`Options` + +-v:: +Enable verbose debug output. Each occurrence of this option increases the +verbose level more. +-f <infile>:: +By default, btrfs receive uses stdin to receive the subvolumes. +Use this option to specify a file to use instead. +-C|--chroot:: +Confine the process to <mount> using chroot. +-e:: +Terminate after receiving an <end cmd> in the data stream. +Without this option, the receiver terminates only if an error is recognized +or on EOF. +--max-errors <N>:: +Terminate as soon as N errors happened while processing commands from the send +stream. Default value is 1. A value of 0 means no limit. +-m:: +The root mount point of the destination fs. ++ +By default the mountpoint is searched in /proc/self/mounts. +If you do not have /proc, eg. in a chroot environment, use this option to tell +us where this filesystem is mounted. + +EXIT STATUS +----------- +*btrfs receive* returns a zero exit status if it succeeds. Non zero is +returned in case of failure. + +AVAILABILITY +------------ +*btrfs* is part of btrfs-progs. +Please refer to the btrfs wiki http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org for +further details. + +SEE ALSO +-------- +`mkfs.btrfs`(8), +`btrfs-send`(8) |
