Filesystem rebalancing (BTRFS_IOC_BALANCE) affects the entire filesystem and may run uninterruptibly for a long time. This does not seem to be something that an unprivileged user should be able to do.

Hello, This is the userspace part of restriper, rebased onto the new progs infrastructure. Restriper commands are located under ''balance'' prefix, which is now the top level command group. However to not confuse existing users ''balance'' prefix is also available under ''filesystem'': btrfs [filesystem] balance start btrfs [filesystem] balance

This series adds an initial implementation for scrub. It works quite straightforward. The usermode issues an ioctl for each device in the fs. For each device, it enumerates the allocated device chunks. For each chunk, the contained extents are enumerated and the data checksums fetched. The extents are read sequentially and the checksums verified. If an error occurs (checksum or EIO), a good copy

Hello, This patch series adds an initial implementation of restriper (it''s a clever name for relocation framework that allows to do selective profile changing and selective balancing with some goodies like pausing/resuming and reporting progress to the user. Profile changing is global (per-FS) so far, per-subvolume profiles require some discussion and can be implemented in future.
