Hallo, linux-btrfs,
I''ve tried to convert a 12 GByte ext2 partition (nearly full, 280 MByte
free) with btrfs-convert.
After about 15 minutes (700-MHz-CPU) the system tells
...
creating ext2fs image file
cleaning up system chunk
btrfs-convert: extent-tree.c:2529: btrfs_reserve_extent: Assertion
`!(ret)'' failed
Abgebrochen

What goes wrong?
How much free place needs "btrfs-convert"?
Viele Gruesse!

And then the system needs to be restarted ... mounting doesn''t work, "halt" or "reboot" doesn''t work. ------------------------------------------------ Another experiment: when the partition (about 11.7 GByte) is filled with about 9 GByte data, converting works fine. How much free space needs "btrfs-convert"? Does it need xx GByte, or does it need yy percent? Depends this free space on the number of files? I have filled my testing partition with *.iso images, 2 to 4 files. Viele Gruesse!

Hi Helmut, don''t use btrfs for important files if you got no backup yet. It''s quite stable and a lot of ppl don''t have problem with it, but there are some cases where it could be very ugly, like a powerloss while writing etc. Regards, Felix Am 01 Nov 2010 09:02:00 +0100 schrieb "Helmut Hullen" <Hullen@t-online.de>:> Hallo, Yan, > > Du meintest am 01.11.10: > > >> I''ve tried to convert a 12 GByte ext2 partition (nearly full, 280 > >> MByte free) with btrfs-convert. > >> > >> After about 15 minutes (700-MHz-CPU) the system tells > >> > >> ... > >> creating ext2fs image file > >> cleaning up system chunk > >> btrfs-convert: extent-tree.c:2529: btrfs_reserve_extent: Assertion > >> `!(ret)'' failed > >> Abgebrochen > > > Try btrfs-convert -r /dev/xxx, hopefully it will recover your ext2. > > Restoring is (now) no problem, I''m still testing.

The 1.5 TByte partition contains my videos (at least most of them), and there is a kind of backup on another machine in the family (some kilometers away). And my machine works behind an UPS. But what about a shutdown initiated by this UPS after (p.e.) 3 minutes powerloss? Viele Gruesse!

I''m told that the devs do quite a bit of crash testing, and I have yet to lose a btrfs filesystem to a powerloss on a variety of crappy hardware. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

So 2.6.31''s dm-crypt does support # barriers, see: http://git.kernel.org/linus/647c7db14ef9 # # If the underlying device(s) support barriers DM should # faithfully pass them on (again except for dm-multipath). # Also, requests with barriers that result in -EOPNOTSUPP # are retried without the barrier, see: # http://git.kernel.org/linus/51aa32284958 cheers, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
