Not sure, what you mean by "takes the snapshot from zero". Do you have different subvolumes defined (and mounted) in your BTRFS filesystem for / and /home (plus maybe some more)? Creating a ro snapshot of a subvolume should be instant. Only if you want to send/receive it somewhere else, should it take time (depending upon the amount of data to be transferred).

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
