Hi, We are trying to use OCFS2 as VM storage. After running into problems with qemu's disk_mirror feature we now think there could be a problem with the FIEMAP ioctl in OCFS2. As far as I understand the situation looks like this: Qemu inquiries the FS if the given section of the image is already allocated via the FIEMAP ioctl [1] It especially checks if fm_mapped_extents is greater 0.

We''ve been hitting BUG()''s in btrfs_cont_expand and btrfs_fallocate and anywhere else that calls btrfs_get_extent while running xfstests 13 in a loop. This is because fiemap is calling btrfs_get_extent with non-sectorsize aligned offsets, which will end up adding mappings that are not sectorsize aligned, which will cause problems in some cases for subsequent calls to

I was Googling around for ways to check fragmentation on Btrfs, and I came across the ''filefrag'' command. Even though it is a ext2/3 command, it seems to work on Btrfs files since it uses the FIEMAP ioctl to determine the number of extents. From a bash prompt, I found I could examine large sections with something like: # for file in $(find <PATH/TO/BTRFS/VOL/> -type f);

Introduce a new flag FIEMAP_FLAG_COW to fiemap ioctl(2) interface. If this flag is set, the kernel will only return the mapped extents which are in copy-on-write state.

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

Is there a way to find the holes in sparse files, other than assuming contiguous blocks of zeroes are holes? Thanks, Sean

I just downloaded the pre48 and ran make. It ran fine for everything, but ended with a number of errors related to the syslxcom program. Usually, I only see the messages about the windows build since I am doing the make on a Fedora 10 system. Is there something new that has been added that requires something that I am missing? From looking at the program this isn't related to the isolinux

Hi, how can I do the following in a shell script: - check whether my file system supports cp --reflink? - check whether two files share the same data on disk, i.e. one has been created by cp --reflink of the other?

Wayne.my vote is for a command-line option. I've noticed there is some penalty for very large files (35GB-50GB). The penalty is relatively small based on my 'intuitive' measurements.read me watching without running a real timer. The difference is very small compared to what happens after a few weeks without the fragmentation patch. Our SAN was becoming so fragmented that we were

Hello everyone, I am currently evaluating dovecot for our new email production servers (20k+ mailboxes) and found out something strange. I'm using those settings on Dovecot 2.2.4 (x86_64 / Slackware / compiled from sources) mdbox_rotate_size = 128M mdbox_rotate_interval = 1d mdbox_preallocate_space = yes with virtual users and location like : mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox I don't

Hi everyone, The master branch of the btrfs unstable tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-unstable.git master Has a collection of btrfs bug fixes. The three most important fixes here address crashes in the btrfs O_DIRECT code, add a migrate_page operation to avoid metadata corruption as btree pages go through migration, and fix up our NFS support. Otherwise we have

It seems to me that it should be possible to make --inplace and --sparse compatible. The manpage says -S, --sparse ... Conflicts with --inplace because it's not possible to overwrite data in a sparse fashion. but I think it _is_ possible to do that, provided the receiving side opens the dest file read-write instead of write-only.

Hi All I was reading through this: http://kashyapc.com/2011/12/02/little-more-disk-io-perf-improvement-with-fallocateing-a-qcow2-disk/ I was basically searching for pointers on improving disk I/O. I wanted to know the purpose of preallocation=full & preallocation=metadata , What is the difference between them ? and which one would yield a better disk I/O speed ? Appreciate your
