FAQ

What is this?

This is a thin wrapper around snapraid-btrfs (and snapraid) to act as a drop-in replacement for snapraid.

What does this accomplish?

snapraid-btrfs provides custom functionality for a subset of the commands provided by snapraid, but does not pass through the remaining commands. This wrapper solves that problem by passing commands known to be implemented by snapraid-btrfs to snapraid-btrfs, and passing all other commands to snapraid.

Why does this exist?

It is clearly a design decision that snapraid-btrfs does not pass through unimplemented commands to snapraid. The author of this script did not want to have to remember which commands should be used by which programs, and thus snapraid-btrfs-wrapper was born.
