I meant that it doesn't simply take an existing snapshot and "updates" it, which is a relatively quick process. It does a full scan, like when you do it for the first time, which takes a very long time. I think it's a permissions problem actually. Don't worry, I'll figure it out! Thanks

As I wrote, when you _create_ (take) a snapshot of your btrfs subvolume (which could be mounted to "/" for example) it's quite literally "instant". Only when you want copy/send this snapshot to another filesystem or disk it will take some time, even if you copy/send incrementally, so only the blocks changed since the reference snapshot. Maybe you're not using a reference snapshot at all? In which case all data (not only the modified blocks) in the current snapshot would have to be transferred. In any case, happy tinkering 👍
