similar to: subvolid=0, ls hangs.

Hi, a recent Ubuntu upgrade killed my system. Luckily I had done a btrfs snapshot before, so I set the particular subvolume as default using # btrfs subvolume set-default 261 /mnt from a rescue system and was back up in no time. I then mounted the original volume with subvolid=0 and repaired it. So far so good. However, I fail to set the default volume back to the original. # btrfs subvolume

Setting subvolume/snapshot readonly has been missing for a long time. With this patch, we can set a subvolume/snapshot readonly via: o btrfs subvolume set-ro <path> Signed-off-by: Liu Bo <liubo2009@cn.fujitsu.com> --- cmds-subvolume.c | 40 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ioctl.h | 7 +++++++ 2 files changed, 47 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git

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

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...

NFS needs a unique identifier for a filesystem to be able to export it. This can be set by the admin (fsid= in /etc/exports) but that is a hassle and it is best to set it automatically. nfs-utils currently uses the UUID returned by libblkid if that works, or the fsid returned by statfs64 if libblkid finds nothings and fsid is non-zero. Otherwise it uses device major/minor. This

When mounting a subvolume by name, mountinfo shows the name of the subvolume. When mounting a subvolume using subvolid it does not. Seems like a problem when trying to determine what is mounted. -o subvol=<name> # cat /proc/self/mountinfo | grep vda 43 34 0:29 /home /home rw,relatime shared:29 - btrfs /dev/vda1 rw,seclabel,space_cache 44 34 0:29 /boot /boot rw,relatime shared:30 - btrfs

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

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

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

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

Hello, We are using btrfs filesystems in our infrastructure and, at some point of time, they start refusing to create new subvolumes. Each file system is being quota initialized immediately after its creation (with "btrfs quota enable") and then all subfolders under the root directory are created as subvolumes (btrfs subvolume create). Over time, these subvolumes may also be

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

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

Although for most time, int is enough for subvolid, we should ensure safety in theory.

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

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

Good morning Btrfs list, I am trying to create a subvolume of a directory tree (approximately 1.1 million subvolumes under nfs1).
