Currently compression and I assume if encryption is implemented it is turned on or off during mount. There are however many times when a user may want to select which files/directories they want to compress or encrypt. This will also be helpful when implementing btrfs support in grub for example. We can say the disk can be compressed/encrypted except for /boot so compression/encryption

I wanted to see how btrfs compares to other filesystems so I have been running bonnie++ on it. While the results are good(much faster then ext2) every once in awhile I get a kernel oops. I am testing on xubuntu 8.10 with the 2.6.27-7-686 kernel using the latest git sources. Most of the time the oops happens within 20min of running bonnie++ but sometimes it takes a few hours. This happens with and

Btrfs has been broken for me for ages. I first reported it on this list 5 months ago[1]. Below is a very simple reproducer that anyone can run. *NB* before you run this, adjust /dev/sda & /dev/sda1 to point to an unused block device! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh - set -e while true; do parted -s -- /dev/sda mklabel msdos parted -s --

Hi, Since commit eecac8a148137ec5c519fc536effce8d6be89ec8 ( HEAD is now at eecac8a... Btrfs: drop remaining LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION checks and compat code ) btrfs kernel module failed to compile on 2.6.27. Older kernel versions not supported anymore?

Hello everyone, Btrfs v0.16 is available for download, please see http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/ for download links and project information. v0.16 has a shiny new disk format, and is not compatible with filesystems created by older Btrfs releases. But, it should be the fastest Btrfs yet, with a wide variety of scalability fixes and new features. There were quite a few contributors this time

Hi folks! Been using btrfs for quite a while now, worked great until now. Got power-loss on my machine and now i have the "parent transid verify failed on X wanted X found X" problem. So I can''t get it to mount. My btrfs is spread over sda (2tb), sdc(2tb), sdd(1tb). Is this something that an offline fsck could fix ? If so is the fsck-util being developed ? Is there a way to

Hello everyone, Btrfs v0.14 is now available for download. Please note the disk format has changed, and it is not compatible with older versions of Btrfs. For downloads and documention, please see the Btrfs project page: http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org The oss.oracle.com Btrfs project page will soon start redirecting here. v0.14 has a few performance fixes and closes some races that could have

Hi Linus, My for-linus branch has a one line fix: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs.git for-linus Sage hit a deadlock with ceph on btrfs, and Josef tracked it down to a regression in our initial rc1 pull. When doing nocow writes we were sometimes starting a transaction with locks held. Josef Bacik (1) commits (+1/-0): Btrfs: release path before starting

We''ve been keeping around the inode sequence number in hopes that somebody would use it, but nobody uses it and people actually use i_version which serves the same purpose, so use i_version where we used the incore inode''s sequence number and that way the sequence is updated properly across the board, and not just in file write.

For quite a while, I''ve experienced oddities with snapshotted Firefox _CACHE_00?_ files, whose checksums (and contents) would change after the btrfs snapshot was taken, and would even change depending on how the file was brought to memory (e.g., rsyncing it to backup storage vs checking its md5sum before or after the rsync). This only affected these cache files, so I didn''t give

It seems that the BTRFS_IOC_CLONE ioctl fails when trying to do a cross-subvolume clone of a file. Chris Mason suggested in the past ([1]) that this should be possible. Am I missing something?

Hi Everyone, I am very new to this mailing list and very much interested in getting into the internals of BTRFS file system I was looking for mkfs.btrfs source code so that I can start getting how the disk is formatted with btrfs system. Can anyone of you redirect me to that place to download the btrfsprogs source code. Thanks in advance. Debasish -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the

Hello, I have been having some crashes like this. Since I upgraded to 3.6.4 they have become common. The crashes happen pretty randomly during normal system usage. After the syslog messages the system stays semi usable for a minute, but when I run any new program it hangs. I had to downgrade to 3.6.2 to get my system usable again. Is there any way I can help find the cause of those crashes?

I did some btrfs RTFS over the weeking and I have a hard time understanding what this code is attempting to do: 28 int btrfs_tree_lock(struct extent_buffer *eb) 29 { 30 int i; 31 32 if (mutex_trylock(&eb->mutex)) 33 return 0; 34 for (i = 0; i < 512; i++) { 35 cpu_relax(); 36 if

Hi, we are running a ceph cluster with btrfs as it''s base filesystem (kernel 3.0). At the beginning everything worked very well, but after a few days (2-3) things are getting very slow. When I look at the object store servers I see heavy disk-i/o on the btrfs filesystems (disk utilization is between 60% and 100%). I also did some tracing on the Cepp-Object-Store-Daemon, but I''m

Hi Chris. I think it is needed to call mark_inode_dirty() when file size expands in order to flush metadata updates to HDD through sync() syscall or background_writeout(). Thanks.

Hi all, we got a new test system here and I just also tested btrfs raid6 on that. Write performance is slightly lower than hw-raid (LSI megasas) and md-raid6, but it probably would be much better than any of these two, if it wouldn''t read all the during the writes. Is this a known issue? This is with linux-3.9.2. Thanks, Bernd -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line

Hi, I try to format a USB memory with a Btrfs. I can format it with mkfs.btrfs without problems. But; when I try to mount it, it fails to mount with the below error messages. But the USB memory works fine with other filesystems (ext4, XFS etc.). So, the hardware is not faulty. tarkane@tarkane:~$ sudo mkfs.btrfs -d single -n 4096 /dev/sdb1 WARNING! - Btrfs v0.18-26-g0030f1d IS EXPERIMENTAL

Hi! I used to have arch linux running on 1 btrfs partition (sda1, incl. /boot). When switching to 3.2.5 recently the system fails to boot: (after udevd) /etc/rc.sysinit: line 15: 117 Bus error mountpoint -q /proc and so on, no idea. It used to boot with 3.2.4, but 1) I obviously had some corruption in the tree, when I tried to delete a certain file I hit e.g. "kernel BUG at
