Kernel 3.1-rc8 btrfs-progs-0.19 mount options: noatime,autodefrag (space_cache is enabled) There are snapshots present on the filesystem. When I do a btrfs fi defrag on a file, the file becomes much more fragmented. The end result can be a file with 20k times more fragments than before. Initially I thought the extents were just smaller but were next to each other, so I checked with both

Hi all, i am new on btrfs, i am testing KVM on btrfs (host: kernel x86-64 3.5.3), the performance is reasonable. I have two question on defrag, can someone help me? 1. According to btrfs wiki, defragment a COW file will produce two unrelated files. Does it apply to the "autodefrag" mount option? 2. Is there any command for the fragmentation status of a file/dir ? e.g. fragment

Hi, I''ve been using btrfs for my root partition for about a month on archlinux and recently Ive started using the i3 window manager and starting X manually and I now boot to run level 3 (multi-user.target for systemd) and Ive noticed that booting archlinux on a btrfs root, there is a lot off hdd chatter after the login prompts are displayed, which doesnt happen with ext4 on root, so I

Hi! Today I converted my /home from Ext4 to BTRFS by reformatting and copying all over again. I created the filesystem with -l 16384 -n 16384 -d single -m single on an logical volume Intel SSD 320 and mount with compress=lzo,spacecache. Current state: merkaba:~> btrfs filesystem show failed to read /dev/sr0 Label: ''home'' uuid: […] Total devices 1 FS bytes used

Hi, I have 4 machines, all converted to BTRFS about 6 months ago, now all running Ubuntu Quantal with kernel 3.5.0-17 The matter is that all these machines are now getting slower and slower everyday, every disk access causing the disk to be 100% busy for long periods, to the point that I''m now seriously considering migrating everything back to ext4... From the start BTRFS was "not

Hi list, I have a few large image files (VMware workstation VMDKs and TrueCrypt containers) which I routinely back up over the network to a btrfs raid10 volume via bigsync (https://code.google.com/p/bigsync/). The VM images in particular get really fragmented due to CoW, which is expected. I haven''t yet switched off CoW on the backups directory mainly to experiment and see what

Hello, I habe the problems described in here https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Gotchas: Files with a lot of random writes can become heavily fragmented (10000+ extents) causing trashing on HDDs and excessive multi-second spikes of CPU load on systems with an SSD or large amount a RAM. On servers and workstations this affects databases and virtual machine images. The nodatacow mount option

I set the C (NOCOW) and z (Not_Compressed) flags on a folder but the extent counts of files contained there keep increasing. Said files are large and frequently modified but not changing in size. This does not happen when the filesystem is mounted with nodatacow. I''m using this as a workaround since subvolumes can''t be mounted with different options simultaneously. ie. one with

Rename no_space_cache option to nospace_cache to be more consistent with the rest, where the simple prefix ''no'' is used to negate an option. The option has been introduced during the -rc1 cycle and there are has not been widely used, so it''s safe.

On 3.14.18 with a BTRFS partition mounted noatime,autodefrag,compress=lzo, I see the second assertion in btrfs_set_item_key_safe() trip: void btrfs_set_item_key_safe(struct btrfs_root *root, struct btrfs_path *path, struct btrfs_key *new_key) { struct btrfs_disk_key disk_key; struct extent_buffer *eb; int slot; eb = path->nodes[0];

What are the recommendations for running KVM images on BTRFS systems using kernel 3.4?  I saw older posts on the web complaining about poor performance, but I know a lot of work has gone into btrfs since then.  There also seemed to be the nocow option, but I didn''t find anything that said it actualy helped. Anybody have ideas? Thanks, Matt -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line

We''re going to use this flag EXTENT_DEFRAG to indicate which range belongs to defragment so that we can implement snapshow-aware defrag: We set the EXTENT_DEFRAG flag when dirtying the extents that need defragmented, so later on writeback thread can differentiate between normal writeback and writeback started by defragmentation. This patch is used for the latter one. Originally patch

Hi, If i set strict allocate = yes in samba to speed up the transfer of a mssql database dump, then btrfs does not compress the file. I have tried it also by just copying a small file in Windows to the samba share and the same. I have tried btrfs mount options autodefrag and then btrfs fi defrag -c and the file still does not get compressed. I have tried kernels 3.6.11, 3.8 and 3.10.7 on FC16

Provide for modification of the limit of compressed extent size utilizing mount-time configuration settings. The size of compressed extents was limited to 128K, which leads to fragmentation of the extents (although the extents themselves may still be located contiguously). This limit is put in place to ease the RAM required when spreading compression across several CPUs, and to make sure the

I''m running into a problem with the btrfs-cleaner thread becoming blocked on xfstests 068. The test locks up indefinitely without completing (normally it finished in about 45 seconds on my test box). I''ve replicated the issue on 3.10.0_rc5 and the for-linus branch of 3.9.0. I ran a git bisect on the 3.9.0 for-linus branch, and tracked my issue to the following commit: commit

In btrfs if we mount with "compress" we have no way to disable compressing by remounting (mount -o remount /mnt/btrfs), only by unmounting and mounting without "compress". This patch adds "nocompress" mount option which can be used to remount the filesystem without compression: # mount -o remount,nocompress /mnt/btrfs This option is usefull in cases when we have a

The new mount option is set after parsing the remount arguments, so it is wrong that checking the autodefrag is close or not at btrfs_remount_prepare(). Fix it.

Hi all, I had been clearing the space cache on my btrfs vol (Debian 3.10.11-1 btrfs-tools 2013-7-5) by changing the fstab to "nospace_cache, clear_cache". I ran btrfsck --repair and it said: "cache and super generation don''t match, space cache will be invalidated." Can one of the dev''s please tell me whether that message means that the space cache

I am experiencing massive performance degradation on my BTRFS root partition on SSD. Except for regular daily updates, nothing changed in the system. The mount point remained the same: / btrfs rw,noatime,compress=lzo,ssd,space_cache,autodefrag 0 0 but the performance dropped to less than 8% of norm. Before: # dd if=tempfile of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024 1024+0 records in 1024+0 records out

The reason the deadlock is that: Task Btrfs-cleaner umount() down_write(&s->s_umount) sync_filesystem() do auto-defragment and produce lots of dirty pages close_ctree() wait for the end of btrfs-cleaner start_transaction reserve space shrink_delalloc() writeback_inodes_sb_nr_if_idle()
