Hello, This is the second attempt to bring in cross subvolume reflinks into btrfs. The first attempt was NAKed due to missing vfs mount checks and a clear description of what btrfs subvolumes are and probably also why cross subvolume reflinks are ok in the case of btrfs. This version of the patch comes from David and is in SUSE kernels since a long time, so it is tested and working. The patch

We create two subvolumes (meego_root and meego_home) in btrfs root directory. And set meego_root as default mount subvolume. After we remount btrfs, meego_root is mounted to top directory by default. Then when we try to mount meego_home (subvol=meego_home) to a subdirectory, it failed. The problem is when default mount subvolume is set to meego_root, we search meego_home in meego_root but can not

Hi All, the following patches implement the recursively snapshotting and deleting of a subvolume. To snapshot recursively you must pass the -R switch: # btrfs subvolume create sub1 Create subvolume ''./sub1'' # btrfs subvolume create sub1/sub2 Create subvolume ''sub1/sub2'' # btrfs subvolume snapshot -R sub1 sub1-snap Create a snapshot of

Good afternoon btrfs, I have been having issues with snapshots not reading the whole file tree below them. I have installed new btrfs-progs from git://git.darksatanic.net/repo/btrfs-progs-unstable.git made and installed them. My tree is: /Btrfs | |__ nfs1 | |__ data |

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

I thought I would try btrfs on a new installation of f14. yes, I know its experimental but stable so it seemed to be a good time to try it. I am not sure if I have missed something out of all my searching but am I correct in thinking that currently: I. it is not possible to boot from a snapshot of the operating system and, in particular, the yum snapshots cannot be used for

Add a mount option user_subvol_rm_allowed that allows users to delete a (potentially non-empty!) subvol when they would otherwise we allowed to do an rmdir(2). We duplicate the may_delete() checks from the core VFS code to implement identical security checks (minus the directory size check).

Hi, I''ve some btrfs fs which are encrypted with loopaes. I decrypt them in a script during bootup. Now I want to determine if the decrypted fs is a btrfs fs. If not I missspelled the password and I can handle that error in my script. Thanks for any help!

Hello all, in IRC we had a discussion on how we could solve sending live subvolumes and how to send subvolumes without the need to administrate/keep old snapshots for incremental sends. One of the ideas was to introduce "sendshots", which are basically snapshots where no refs are counted for file data. This means, that when file data is changed in the sendshot origin, we do not consume

Setting subvolume/snapshot readonly has been missing for a long time.

I've just tried putting usr in a subvol. Installation proceeds normally, no errors, but I'm dropped to a dracut prompt which indicates mount of /usr failed. dmesg follows: [ 14.025215] systemd[1]: Starting dracut initqueue hook...

Hello, The question below is based on https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-users/2012- August/004509.html Thanks in advance for any help with the following question, including pointing me to some other info resource if needed. I have a user with an Xubuntu 12.04.1 laptop, 32-bit. He needs to use a USB hard disk drive which has 2 partitions: the 1st partition is NTFS and the 2nd

If you look the code carefully, you will see all the tree_mod_alloc() has to use GFP_ATOMIC. However, the original code pass the wrong arg gfp_t in some places, this dosen''t cause any problems, because in the tree_mod_alloc(), it ignores arg gfp_t and just use GFP_ATOMIC directly, this is not good. However, i think we should try best not to allocate with GFP_ATOMIC, so i keep the gfp_t

As of the latest updates to anaconda and grub2 for Fedora 18, it is now possible to install with /boot as a btrfs subvolume. The way that grub2 is handling this is the "reach down" to the files it needs as if the subvolume was a directory. Is this OK? At this point I am not worried about snapshots or any other complexities. If the subvolume name is known. should grub2 be able to

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

From: Anand Jain <anand.jain@oracle.com> (This patch is for the review/test not yet for the integration). Here is an implementation of the feature to add label to the subvolume and snapshots. Which would help sysadmin to better manager the subvol and snapshots. This can be done in two ways, one - using attr which is user land only changes but drawback is able to change the label

If we change our default subvolume, btrfs receive will fail to find subvolume. To fix this problem, i have two ideas. 1.make btrfs snapshot ioctl support passing source subvolume''s objectid 2.when we want to using interval subvolume path, we mount it other place that use subvolume 5 as its default subvolume. We''d better use the second approach because it won''t bother

From: Anand <anand.jain@oracle.com> This patch adds creation-time to the snapshot list display, which would help user to better manage the snapshots when number of snapshots grow substantially.

I was looking through some of the archives and notice a patch submitted to implement: btrfs subvolume show <path-to-subvolume> command. I also noticed that is does not appear to be in the git. This looks like a useful capability. I was trying to find out what the UUID was for a newly created subvolume and have not found out how to do that. Gene -- To unsubscribe from this
