similar to: New disk format pushed out to the git tree

Hello everyone, btrfs-unstable now has Yan Zheng''s fallocate support, along with disk format changes. I was hoping to roll all of this into a single format change with the compression code, but there was too much conflict between the two patches. The fallocate work is pretty neat, it allows preallocation of extents and overwrites them without triggering COW as long as there are no

Hello everyone, Yan Zheng sent along an update for the new format patch today, and it slightly changed the disk format for backrefs used when balancing space across drives. We decided against supporting an intermediate format that was only a week old, and his update makes a few important features much much easier (snapshot deletion for one).

Hello, There is a new feature ''uninitialized block groups'' in ext4. Block and inode bitmaps in uninitialized block groups are uninitialized. This confuses the converter. The fix is call ext2fs_new_inode for each block group at open time. It set up uninitialized block and inode bitmaps appropriately. This patch also contains some other minor fixes. Thank you, Signed-off-by: Yan

I''m using btrfs on two devices here, /usr on sda3 and /home on sdb (dm-crypt device on the whole disk). With btrfs-master the whole system hangs when accessing /home. The system hangs when I''m logging in into my account with KDE and is easily reproducible with dbench. On /usr the hangs appeared also but not as often as on the /home-device. I''ve tested on a third

Hi, I will send a series patches that add snapshot/subvol deletion soon. But the way to delete snapshot/subvol is far from people''s expectancy. To delete a snapshot/subvol, we need four steps: 1) snapshot/subvol deletion ioctl or rmdir; 2) umount; 3) btrfsck; 4) mount the fs. The reason for this is bug in root back & forward references. In simple terms, the bug prevents us from

This patch contains two changes to avoid unnecessary tree block reads during snapshot dropping. First, check tree block''s reference count and flags before reading the tree block. if reference count > 1 and there is no need to update backrefs, we can avoid reading the tree block. Second, save when snapshot was created in root_key.offset. we can compare block pointer''s

Yan Zheng hit a problem where we tried to remove some free space but failed because we couldn''t find the free space entry. This is because the free space was held within a bitmap that had a starting offset well before the actual offset of the free space, and there were free space extents that were in the same range as that offset, so tree_search_offset returned with NULL because we
