What's the first instance? Snapshots do not recursively snapshot subvolumes. For example: 274 5517 5 <FS_TREE>/home.0 476 5344 5 <FS_TREE>/home.0/chris/Downloads/git 488 5352 5 <FS_TREE>/home.0/chris/Downloads/git/kernel If I snapshot ID 274, the resulting subvolume will stop at a directory ./chris/Downloads/git which will be empty. So it's not going to contain any reference at all to the subvolumes that were in the original subvolume.
