Hi, I''m trying to convert two ext4 FS to btrfs, but I''m surprised by the time needed to do that conversion. The first FS is on a 500GiB block device, and btrfs-convert is running since more than 48h : root 1978 25.6 47.7 748308 732556 ? D Feb18 944:44 btrfs-convert /dev/vg-backup/backup The second is on a 340GiB block device, and the processing time is similar

Hi, I am using 2.6.36.3 kernel with btrfs, 512MB memory and a very slow disk, no special options for mounting btrfs except noatime. Now I found it very slow. When I rm a 5GB movie, it took 20 secs. -- 竹密岂妨流水过 山高哪阻野云飞 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at

Hi all, Just a quick question but can''t find an obvious answer. Can I create/convert a existing (btrfs) directory into a subvolume? It would be very helpful when transferring ''partitions'' into btrfs. I found a similar question way back in google, but that site is down now generally. Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line

Glück Auf! I know its been discussed more then ones, but as a user I really would like to see the patch for allowing this in the kernel. Some users tested this patch successfully for weeks or months in 2 or 3 kernel versions since then, true? I''d say by creating a snapshot, it''s nothing else in the end. More then one file or tree sharing the same data on disc, or am I wrong?

Hi, This patch add a new macro called btrfs_error(...) which deprecate the use of fprintf(stderr, ...) regards, Eduardo

What happened to the hot data tracking feature in btrfs? There are a lot of old patches from aug 2010, but it looks like the feature has been completly removed from the current version of btrfs. Is this feature still on the roadmap?

Hi, There''s been discussion before on this list on the very small number of hard links supported by btrfs.[1][2] In those threads, an often asked question has been if there''s a real world use case the limit breaks. Also it has been pointed out that a fix for this would need a disk format change. As discussed in bug #15762 [3], there are certainly real-world use cases this

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

I know this question was asked, oh, a year ago, and the answer was "No." But I''m wondering if anything''s changed in the interim. Specifically, shy of "dd", is there any way to back up the files and metadata on a btrfs partition? Thanks! -Ken -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message

Hello all. What we have: SL6 - kernel 2.6.32-131.2.1.el6.x86_64 btrfs on mdadm RAID5 with 8 HDD - 27T partition.

I''m looking to try BTRFS on a SSD, and I would like to know what SSD optimizations it applies. Is there a comprehensive list of what ssd mount option does? How are the blocks and metadata arranged? Are there options available comparable to ext2/ext3 to help reduce wear and improve performance? Specifically, on ext2 (journal means more writes, so I don''t use ext3 on SSDs,

It''s been nearly a year since the patches needed to implement a reflinked copy between subvolumes have been posted (http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/9865 ) and I still get "Invalid cross-device link" error with Linux 3.2.4 while I try to do a cp --reflink between subvolumes. This is a *very* useful feature to have (think offline file-level

Hi, I''ve been looking at Btrfs and have a couple of naive questions that don''t seem to be answered on the wiki or in the articles I''ve read on the filesystem. First: discovering a file''s checksum value. Here''s the scenario: software is writing some data as a fresh file. This software happens to know (a priori) the checksum of this data; for

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

I''ve been thinking about this for a while, from a perspective of how to make it work by allocating i-node numbers from a global pool, but yesterday I realized that offering the feature would be a bad idea because it violates the semantics of file systems. I will be happy to expand on that point if anyone disagrees with it. dln -- "It is merely a matter of persistence." --

Hi all, I''m doing my first xen, running with 3 domU perfect. I need to know which way to backup domU to restore these to another server if i''ve problem with this machine. There are 3 LVM with 10G in VolGroup01 for each domU, with each of these partitions: /dev/xvda3            8,7G  1,4G  6,9G  17%

Hi all! I want to use 'acl group control' setting to delegate privileges to specific administrators. Unfortunately, I'm unable to set the primary group using windows file permissions dialog, I can only add and remove ACL groups. I tried to do this by removing all groups but one from Windows. This doesn't work: the primary group has all privs removed and the extra group is

Hi list, is there any working solution for deduplication of data for centos? We are trying to find a solution for our backup server which runs a bash script invoking xdelta(3). But having this functionality in fs is much more friendly... We have looked into lessfs, sdfs and ddar. Are these filesystems ready to use (on centos)? ddar is sthg different, I know. Thx Rainer
