NAME
btrfs-receive - receive subvolumes from stdin/file.SYNOPSIS
btrfs receive [options] <mount>
DESCRIPTION
Receives one or more subvolumes that were previously sent with btrfs send. 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 doncqt 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.
