similar to: Raid1 degraded mode

Hi, I have setup a RAID1 using 3 devices (500G each) on separate disks. After removing one disk physically the filesystem cannot be mounted in degraded nor in recovery mode. When putting the disk back in the filesystem can be mounted without errors. I did a cold-swap (powercycle after removal/insertion of the disk). Here are the details: - latest kernel 3.2.1 and btrfs-tools on xubuntu

I''ve had a go at determining exactly what happens when you create a filesystem without enough devices to meet the requested replication strategy: # mkfs.btrfs -m raid1 -d raid1 /dev/vdb # mount /dev/vdb /mnt # btrfs fi df /mnt Data: total=8.00MB, used=0.00 System, DUP: total=8.00MB, used=4.00KB System: total=4.00MB, used=0.00 Metadata, DUP: total=153.56MB, used=24.00KB Metadata:

Hello, I have created a btrfs filesystem with RAID1 setup having 2 disks. Everything works fine but when I try to umount the device and remount it in degraded mode, the data still goes into both the disk. ideally in degraded mode only one disk show disk activity and not the failed ones. System Config: Base OS: Slackware kernel: linux 3.3.2 "sar -pd 2 10" shows me that the data is

Hello, today I wanted to remove one drive from raid1, and people at #btrfs advised me to use ''-dconvert=single'' before ''btrfs device delete''. I thought of adding ''-mconvert=dup'' too, but the kernel does not let me do that. It looks like ''dup'' is disallowed for an array of multiple devices. So, to go back to a single-drive

Hello, on a fs with 4 disks, raid 10 for data, one drive was failing and has been removed. After reboot and ''mount -o degraded...'', the fs looks full, even though before removal of the failed device it was almost 80% free. root@fs0:~# df -h /mnt/b Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sde 11T 2.5T 41M 100% /mnt/b root@fs0:~# btrfs fi df /mnt/b Data,

Hi, I have potentially found a (minor) bug (or missing feature) in btrfs, but it might be a misunderstanding, so I like to ask here first before reporting in Bugzilla. I have a btrfs file system in RAID1 mode with two missing devices, but I know that all data is still present on the remaining device. btrfs refuses mounting this fs in rw mode (too many missing devices), as it probably just counts

Hello, I had a raid1 btrfs (540GB) on vanilla 3.6.3, a disk failed, and removed it at power off, plugged in a new one, partitioned it (to 110GB, by error), and added it to btrfs. I tried to remove the missing device, and it said "Input/output error" after a while. Next attempts simply gave "Invalid argument". I repartitioned, rebooted the system, and made the partition grow:

I''ve created a test volume and copied a bulk of data to it, however the results of the space allocation are confusing at best. I''ve tried to capture the history of events leading up to the current state. This is all on a Debian Wheezy system using a 3.10.5 kernel package (linux-image-3.10-2-amd64) and btrfs tools v0.20-rc1 (Debian package 0.19+20130315-5). The host uses an

Hello, I''m testing Btrfs RAID1 feature on 3 disks of ~10GB. Last one is not exactly 10GB (would be too easy). About the test machine, it''s a kvm vm running an up-to-date archlinux with linux 3.7 and btrfs-progs 0.19.20121005. #uname -a Linux seblu-btrfs-1 3.7.0-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Dec 11 15:05:50 CET 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux Filesystem was created with : # mkfs.btrfs -L

I'm trying to install a bunch of C6 involving initially degraded mdadm RAID 1 Anaconda refuses to let me create a RAID 1 array with only one member. Based on some reading, it seems that I should be able to use kickstart with the PRE scripts to do this. However, after trying for a couple of hours, it doesn't seem that anaconda will allow it, it just boots the created arrays. At best I end

4 identical devices, raid 1. Ubuntu 11.10 Alpha 3 I''ve physically unplugged TWO (alternating) devices. mounted as degraded, filesystem works great.

Greetings, until yesterday I was running a btrfs filesystem across two 2.0 TiB disks in RAID1 mode for both metadata and data without any problems. As space was getting short I wanted to extend the filesystem by two additional drives lying around, which both are 1.0 TiB in size. Knowing little about the btrfs RAID implementation I thought I had to switch to RAID10 mode, which I was told is

Hi, I''m starting to play with btrfs on my new computer. I''m running Gentoo and have compiled the 2.6.31 kernel, enabling btrfs. Now I have 2 partitions (on 2 different sata disks) that are free for me to play with, each about 375 gb in size. I wanted to create a "raid1" volume using these two partitions, so I did: # mkfs.btrfs -d raid1 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb5 # mount

I notice this question on the wiki/faq: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/UseCases#What_is_best_practice_when_partitioning_a_device_that_holds_one_or_more_btr-filesystems and as it hasn''t been answered, can anyone make any comments on the subject Various things come to mind: a) partition the disk, create an LVM partition, and create lots of small LVs, format each as btrfs b)

I''ve been experimenting lately with btrfs RAID1 implementation and have to say that it is performing quite well, but there are few problems: * when I purposefully damage partitions on which btrfs stores data (for example, by changing the case of letters) it will read the other copy and return correct data. It doesn''t report in dmesg this fact every time, but it does

I set the C (NOCOW) and z (Not_Compressed) flags on a folder but the extent counts of files contained there keep increasing. Said files are large and frequently modified but not changing in size. This does not happen when the filesystem is mounted with nodatacow. I''m using this as a workaround since subvolumes can''t be mounted with different options simultaneously. ie. one with

After upgrading from 2.6.39-rc7 to 2.6.39 this morning, I tried to mount my 3 disk btrfs volume (no subvolumes, space caching enabled, lzo compression) and received some parent transid errors (going back to rc7 didn''t help, though): btrfs: disk space caching is enabled parent transid verify failed on 6038227976192 wanted 337418 found 337853 parent transid verify failed on 6038227976192
