Btrfs devel - Jul 2011 - [PATCH v1 0/2] Btrfs-progs: commands "resolve inode" and "resolve logical"

The kernel patch series just sent (Subject: "Btrfs: scrub: print path to
corrupted files and trigger nodatasum fixup") introduces two new ioctls to
do in-kernel filesystem path construction. This series provides the
corresponding userspace changes, adding two new commands to the btrfs utility:

--
btrfs resolve inode [-v] <inode> <path>
	resolves an <inode> to all filesystem paths local to the fs mounted
	at <path>.
		-v  print count of returned and missed paths

btrfs resolve logical [-v] [-P] <logical> <path>
	resolves a <logical> address to all filesystem paths in the file
	system mounted at <path> and all its subvolumes.
		-v  print count of returned and missed inode/offset/root
		    triples
		-P  do not resolve the path but stop after finding all
		    inodes at this logical address and print them instead
--

These patches are based on Hugo''s current integration branch.

Please try them out and report bugs here. I''ll send an update to the
manpages
later.

split list_subvols to separate functions and allow printing only in the
containing function. lets us make use of those functions when resolving
logical addresses.

two new commands that make use of the new path resolving functions
implemented for scrub, doing the resolving in-kernel. the result for both
commands is a list of files belonging to that inode / logical address.

Which is the aim of these commands ? It seems more a "debug" utilities
than a standard command. If so, these commands may be put under a new
group called "debug" or "test" or whichever we decided to
use. But,
please, highlight the fact that these commands aren''t for a general

I suggest to use

	btrfs debug resolve ...

Or better

	btrfs inspect resolve ...

Please update the man pages at the same time of the code. Develop the
man page coupled with the code may help to design a "good interface"
(from an user point of view) and to explain better the aim of the new
command.

Well, in my opinion, they are. Finding files for an inode is not that
exotic, is it?

The command to find files for logical addresses is useful until each and
every error message in the kernel log does that resolving itself.
Currently, we log logical addresses everywhere. Once that''s changed,
this one becomes more like a debug command, I agree.

I don''t give much in command names (I admit they should make sense),
I''m
happy to insert an "inspect" there. Although "btrfs inspect
resolve
inode" sounds strange to me. Any other opinions? I suggest we''d
better
do the naming process in #btrfs.

Agreed. Next version will come with man pages.

In my opinion it is a bit exotic. But there would be some interesting
case, like: find all the link which point to an inode.

I am not fully aligned to you, but the difference is so small that
doesn''t matter anyway.

For the name my I can suggest:

	btrfs inspect-internal inode-resolve

	btrfs inspect-internal logical-resolve

which may be abbreviate to

	btrfs inspect inode

	btrfs inspect logical

which are (IMHO) a good balancing between shortness and clarity

The command group "inspect-internal" (IMHO) is quite generic and in
the
future other commands may be inserted here. And the name is sufficent
"strange" to highlight that these command are not for "faint of
heart"''
admins.
