Whiteboard:
Fixed In Version:		Doc Type:	If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:	Cause: This happens due to difference in the location at which the snapshots are created in the different type of subvolumes i.e. v1 vs v2 Consequence: Snapshot path is not computed correctly for v2 subvolumes. Workaround (if any): A path of "/.." needs to be supplied as the command-line argument when creating the schedule for a v2 subvol. Result: Snapshots are then correctly created in the directory that is one level higher than the one returned by the subvolume `getpath` command. No other path other than "/.." would work here.

Description Milind Changire 2023-01-10 08:04:14 UTC

Describe the issue:
Snaps fail to get created for v2 subvols using the standard path for the subvol.

Describe the task you were trying to accomplish:
I was trying to set a snapshot creation schedule using mgr/snap-schedule module.

Additional information:
Since snapshots fail to get created using the default path for v2 subvol which ends in a UUID, a "/.." path is necessary to be suffixed to the standard subvol path so that the snapshots get correctly created in a directory one level higher than the actual subvol path that ends in a UUID.
