Hi!
I have a snapshot with the read only flag set and I'm currently unable
to delete it or change the ro setting
btrfs property set -ts /path/t/snapshot ro false
ERROR: failed to set flags for /path/t/snapshot: Operation not permitted

Deleting the snapshot is also a no-go:

btrfs subvolume delete /path/t/snapshot
Delete subvolume (no-commit): '/path/t/snapshot'
ERROR: cannot delete '/path/t/snapshot': Operation not permitted


The snapshot information:

btrfs subvolume show /path/t/snapshot
/path/t/snapshot
        Name:                   snapshot
        UUID:                   66a145da-a20d-a44e-bb7a-3535da400f5d
        Parent UUID:            f1866638-f77f-e34e-880d-e2e3bec1c88b
        Received UUID:          66a145da-a20d-a44e-bb7a-3535da400f5d
        Creation time:          2019-07-31 12:00:30 +0200
        Subvolume ID:           23786
        Generation:             1856068
        Gen at creation:        1840490
        Parent ID:              517
        Top level ID:           517
        Flags:                  readonly
        Snapshot(s):


Any idea of what can I do?

Regards!

   First question: are you running those commands as root?

   Second question: has the FS itself gone read-only for some reason?
(e.g. corruption detected).

Hi! Thanks for the reply!
First: I am (g)root,, yes :)
Second: The snapshot was taken in ro mode, the fs is not ro and the
rest of the snapshots and volumes work as intended (rw)

Thanks

Maybe strace the failing command, and see if that provides a hint
what's going on?
