Description ataraxia937 2016-12-04 17:02:50 UTC 
When using btrfs send and receive to transfer a subvolume, file attributes (set with chattr) are not copied. I tested this with the 'C' attribute on a directory, which was present in the original subvol, and in the RO snapshot created for use with send, but not in the snapshot created by receive.

This is a known problem and will be addressed in v2 of the send/receive protocol update.
