Sorry for delay reply!

Maybe a better idea for this will be:

Opposite to previous way, we do snapshots background while at the
same time we do sending.

And btrfs-progs should output meaningful information on send failure, i will
make a tiny patch to address this issue. but to make this test more friendly, i
think we can still do something like:

btrfs send <..>  || echo "Failed to send"

What do you think of this way?  Feel free to tell me if there are better ideas^_^.

Thanks,
Wang
