The send/receive functions of btrfs are awesome.
Watch out with 3.17 then, there are early reports that it's broken btrfs send. :-(
Broken how? 3.16 had a bug in bcache where the writeback process would hang, so I did actually switch to 3.17-rc5 (debian experimental). Also 3.17 finally includes my patch to add support for my DVB card so I don't have to do the out-of-tree build for v4l. Both the send and receive were done on 3.17 A quick google says that 51f395ad4058883e4273b02fdebe98072dbdc0d2 might be the offending commit (https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org/msg37877.html), although there isn't any followup to say if this is the case or not. If that is the case then 3.17-rc5 includes that commit so maybe I was just lucky? James
