Dear all.

The story is here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=92709 My post is number 8.

Our problem is we can not delete snapshots as it was suggested: https://together.jolla.com/question/14633/bug-factory-reset-no-storage-left/

What we did:

[root@localhost nemo]#
mount -o subvolid=0 /dev/mmcblk0p28 /mnt/

[root@localhost nemo]# ls -la /mnt/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 260 Feb 9 13:40 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 718 Feb 14 11:03 ..
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 718 Feb 14 11:03 @
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 768 Feb 8 13:42 @_old
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8 Nov 20 04:55 @home
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Nov 20 04:49 @swap
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 610 Nov 20 04:55 factory-@
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8 Nov 20 04:55 factory-@home
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 766 Feb 8 21:50 rec-20140209_093232_@
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8 Nov 20 04:55 rec-20140209_093232_@home
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 754 Feb 9 13:36 rec-20140209_094009_@
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8 Nov 20 04:55 rec-20140209_094009_@home
[root@localhost nemo]#

[root@localhost nemo]# btrfs subvolume delete /mnt/rec-20140209_093232_@
Delete subvolume '/mnt/rec-20140209_093232_@'
ERROR: cannot delete '/mnt/rec-20140209_093232_@' - Directory not empty
[root@localhost nemo]#

As you can see we tried to delete snapshot but got error. We also found that that inside of the "rec-20140209_093232_@" directory there is another one and it is called "factory-@". That is why "btrfs subvolume delete" refused to delete it and we were also advised do not delete "factory-@".

What should we do? Is "factory-@" inside of the "rec-20140209_093232_@" the same as "drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 610 Nov 20 04:55 factory-@"?

Thanks in advance.

Please, read my post until the end. We did it and we got error, because snapshot subvolume has another subvolume insude called "factory-@".

Yep, show on your post in TMO (try with "btrfs subvolume delete -R")

jayki ( 2014-02-20 12:20:49 +0200 )edit

Good, in TMO also said: ..."Please don't even delete them! Don't Delete @swap factory-@ factory-@home @ and @home"

We have "factory-@" inside.
