Description
Btrbk fails if the directory pointed by `/` is a mount point.
It is not uncommon to have snapshot directory on a mointpoint, the Arch Wiki even suggests such a setup: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Snapper#Suggested_filesystem_layout
As this introduces quite some architectural changes in btrbk, a fix for this is currently living on a feature-branch: [snapdir-mountpoint](/digint/btrbk/tree/snapdir-mountpoint).

Research direction
Review the snapdir-mountpoint feature branch and trace the send/receive behavior for a snapshot directory that is itself a mount point. Confirm the intended behavior against the issue description and Arch Wiki setup, then verify that snapshot send and receive work correctly with this layout.
