Hey all, Just did a btrfs balance on a single device. Before the balance operation here is the df result: inglor@tiamat ~$ btrfs fi df /home Data: total=19.19GB, used=9.34GB System, DUP: total=32.00MB, used=4.00KB Metadata, DUP: total=896.00MB, used=227.98MB Then I issues a balance operation relocating the chunks across a single device: inglor@tiamat ~$ sudo btrfs fi balance /home [sudo]

I''ve just pushed out a new integration branch to my git repo. This is purely bugfix patches -- there are no new features in this issue of the integration branch. I''ve got a stack of about a dozen more patches with new features in them still to go. I''ll be working on those tomorrow. As always, there''s minimal testing involved here, but it does at least compile on

Hi, I wanted to create a new btrfs fs for my backups. When trying to mkfs.btrfs for that device, I''m getting "error checking /dev/loop2 mount status" With strace I see where the problem is: lstat("/dev/disk/by-id/ata-INTEL_SSDSA2M160G2GC_CVPO939201JX160AGN-par", 0x7fffa30b3cf0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) The problem is there is something missing

I came across the tidbit that ZFS has a contract guarantee that the data read back will either be correct (the checksum computed over the data read from the disk matches the checksum stored on disk), or you get an I/O error. Obviously, this greatly reduces the probability that the data is invalid. (Particularly when taken in combination with the disk firmware''s own ECC and checksumming.)

I''m having some trouble working out how to make the SDL interface for HVM domUs appear. The documentation simply says "it will appear" when you start the domU, but doesn''t state what packages or libraries are needed in order for this magic to happen, or explain how to debug it if it doesn''t happen. All that I''m getting at the moment is a domU (running

Hi, my btrfs "hangs" when doing a balance operation. I''m using a 3.7.1 kernel from opensuse: linux-opzz 3.7.1-2.10-m4 #11 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 11 18:04:04 CET 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux and Btrfs v0.19+ I did a scrub which completed without errors. Then I tried "btrfs filesystem balance /" which work fine for the first 23 of 46 chunks, then ist stopped

Hi What is the general state of btrfs RAID6 as of kernel 3.13-rc1 and the latest btrfs tools? More specifically: - Is it able to correct errors during scrubs? - Is it able to transparently handle disk failures without downtime? - Is it possible to convert btrfs RAID10 to RAID6 without recreating the fs? - Is it possible to add/remove drives to a RAID6 array? Regards, Hans-Kristian -- To

After a reorganisation of patches, and sending a bunch of them to Chris, I''ve also updated the integration branch to match that. It''s available from: http://git.darksatanic.net/repo/btrfs-progs-unstable.git/ integration-20110630 The shortlog of 17 patches in this branch beyond the ones I''ve sent to Chris is below. Hugo.

I''m trying to install RHEL 4 on an HVM (Core 2 Duo). However, when the RHEL installer tries to start the kernel, it complains that the CPU doesn''t support extended mode, and that I should use a 32-bit installer. However: hrm@willow:~$ sudo xm info | grep xen_caps xen_caps : xen-3.0-x86_64 hvm-3.0-x86_32 hvm-3.0-x86_32p hvm-3.0-x86_64 Is there some magic I

Hi list, I am using kernel 3.9.0, btrfs-progs 0.20-rc1-253-g7854c8b.

i am looking at using btrfs for a new project and i have a few questions:     * i have heard that as it currently stands Btrfs has some issues to be used as a Lustre file system; is he aware of the issues and any plans to address these and integrate Btrfs in to Lustre     * any plans to support native clustering on Btrfs     * on ZFS the ZIL is a separate device, any plans to implement a the

I have been experimenting exporting btrfs subvolumes over nfs. Main subvolume is filesys1 mounted at /filesys1. Below this is subvolume base, user1 is in base and documents is in user1. documents is mounted at /documents. /etc/exports is: /filesys1/base/user1 172.16.0.0/24(rw,no_acl,no_root_squash,fsid=0) /filesys1/user1-snapshot 172.16.0.0/24(rw,no_acl,no_root_squash,fsid=0)

I''m a little concerned about the size of my metadata. I''m doing raid10 on both data and metadata, and: hrm@vlad:mnt $ sudo btrfs fi df /mnt Data: total=488.01GB, used=487.23GB Metadata: total=3.01GB, used=677.73MB System: total=11.88MB, used=52.00KB hrm@vlad:mnt $ find /mnt | wc -l 20137 By my calculations, that''s something on the order of 17.5K per filesystem

Hi, I''ve observed a rather strange behaviour while trying to mount two identical copies of the same image to different mount points. Each modification to one image is also performed in the second one. Example: dd if=/dev/sda? of=image1 bs=1M cp image1 image2 mount -o loop image1 m1 mount -o loop image2 m2 touch m2/hello ls -la m1 //will now also include a file calles "hello"

Hi, I reported a bug to anaconda (rhbz 901905), but it might be btfs related.

Hello all, I recently had a power failure and can no longer mount my /home directory. The harddrive has two BTRFS partitions: sda7(/) and sda8(/home). The / partition loads up just fine, but /home does not. I''ve tried btrfsck as shown below and I''ve included dmesg pertaining to btrfs. This is on ArchLinux and the software versions are as follows: btrfs-progs-unstable

Hey, I''d start by saying that I know Btrfs is a still experimental, and so there''s no guarantee that one would be able to help me at all... But I thought I''ll try anyway :-) Few months ago I bought a new laptop and installed ArchLinux on it, with Btrfs on the root filesystem... I know, it''s not the smartest thing to do... After a few month I had issues with my

Is there a way to mix RAID 1 and 0 in different subvolumes? I am a new user to btrfs and would like to protect the important files with mirroring, but have a bulk area that is striped for speed and size. For example I want / and /home to be mirrored, but /media can just be striped as it is all data I can easily recreate. I see an item in the Project_ideas wiki entry called "Online raid
