Hello, is it possible to set nodatacow on a per-file basis? I couldn''t find anything. If not, wouldn''t that be a great feature to get around the performance issues with VM and database storage? Of course cloning should still cause COW. Thanks, Ralf-Peter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to

Glück Auf! I use now kernel 3.2. The filesystem was originally created under 2.6.39 on 1 whole hdd, mounted with "noatime,nodiratime,inode_cache". I use it for backups: rsync the whole system to a subvolume, snapshot it and then delete some tempfiles in the snapshot, which are 90% of the full-backup, all once a day. In figures: on this 1 TB hdd is the full-backup with around 600 GiB and

Hello, Trying to balance a 2TB filesystem on the 3.8.5 kernel: Label: ''p2'' uuid: 01f6cc8b-d305-40e1-bac8-8fdd548f611e Total devices 1 FS bytes used 1.32TB devid 1 size 1.80TB used 1.37TB path /dev/sda2 System: total=4.00MB, used=156.00KB Data+Metadata: total=1.37TB, used=1.32TB I am getting a Segmentation fault in ''btrfs'' utility, and following in

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

Hi Seto, please could you update also the man page too ? Why it was not provided a way to clear a *single* flag ? To me it seems a bit too long to clear all the flag (btrfs mount-option clear) and then set the right one. As user interface I suggest something like chmod: btrfs mount-option set +ssd,skip_balance -nodatacow /dev/sdX or btrfs mount-option set =ssd,skip_balance,nodatacow

Hi! With 3.2-rc4 (probably earlier), Ext4 seems to remember what areas it trimmed: merkaba:~> fstrim -v /boot /boot: 224657408 bytes were trimmed merkaba:~> fstrim -v /boot /boot: 0 bytes were trimmed But BTRFS does not: merkaba:~> fstrim -v / /: 4431613952 bytes were trimmed merkaba:~> fstrim -v / /: 4341846016 bytes were trimmed Is it planned to add this feature to BTRFS

Hi. I''m considering an imminent switch from ext4 to btrfs and I''m hoping that someone can lend me advice before I do something unsupported. I have a software raid 6 array configured via mdadm. It was sitting at 8 x 3TB until I recently doubled that, grew the array and found that ext4 doesn''t want to resize. So, I''m looking to: 1. convert from ext4 to btrfs

sorry forgot to follow the protocol, now included RFC in the subject. Hi, Appears that no one is working on the auto-snapshot feature for btrfs, so here I am implementing the same. Below is a draft on the feature list. Any comments / questions / suggestions are welcome, please do let me know. btrfs auto snapshot feature will include: Initially: - configurable timely

NOTE: in order to apply this patch you should: git mv btrfsck.c cmd-fsck.c This patch moves btrfsck in to "btrfs fsck". It also adds support for symlinks to the btrfs binary to retain compablity, =) I think something should be done to the help description but i''m not sure what... Anyway, feedback is welcome. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe

Hallo, "never change a running system" ... For some months I run btrfs unter kernel 3.2.5 and 3.2.9, without problems. Yesterday I compiled kernel 3.3.4, and this morning I started the machine with this kernel. There may be some ugly problems. Copying something into the btrfs "directory" worked well for some files, and then I got error messages (I''ve not

Hello, I have noticed I have the following in my dmesg: [319769.043163] nbd: registered device at major 43 [319769.104176] nbd11: unknown partition table [319769.130273] device fsid c2598ff2-1e3e-4edf-ab19-1f7ab41b0160 devid 1 transid 125743 /dev/nbd11 [319769.130522] btrfs: force lzo compression [319769.130528] btrfs: disk space caching is enabled [319802.926547] Btrfs detected SSD devices,

Hello, (this is a recap of yesterday''s discussion on BTRFS IRC, also to save relevant pastes before pastebins expire) I have my /home on btrfs; a cronjob makes one snapshot every 30 minutes; these snapshots are kept for 24-48 hours, then deleted in batches. This is a 16K Leaf/Node BTRFS on top of mdadm RAID1. As system uptime approached 2 weeks, I started noticing that the free space
