similar to: extremely slow syncing on btrfs with 2.6.39.1

Hallo, linux-btrfs, I''ve (once again) tried "add" and "delete". First, with 3 devices (partitions): mkfs.btrfs -d raid0 -m raid1 /dev/sdk1 /dev/sdl1 /dev/sdm1 Mounted (to /mnt/btr), filled with about 100 GByte data. Then btrfs device add /dev/sdj1 /mnt/btr results in # show Label: none uuid: 6bd7d4df-e133-47d1-9b19-3c7565428770 Total devices 4 FS bytes

In NT Explorer, my 9GB usr shares show up as 4GB. Any suggestions? Doug Smith

I noticed that if I have single-device allocation for data in a multi-device btrfs filesystem, a balance operation will convert the data to RAID0. This is true even if ''-d single'' is specified explicitly when creating the filesystem. Then it wants to continue using RAID0 for future data allocations, and I run out of space once there''s no longer two drives with space

Hallo, linux-btrfs, First I create an array of 2 disks with mkfs.btrfs -d raid0 -m raid1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdd1 and mount it at /srv/MM. Then I fill it with about 1,6 TByte. And then I add /dev/sde1 via btrfs device add /dev/sde1 /srv/MM btrfs filesystem balance /srv/MM (it run about 20 hours) Then I work on it, copy some new files, delete some old files - all works well. Only df

Hi! With 3.2-rc4 (probably earlier), Ext4 seems to remember what areas it trimmed: merkaba:~> fstrim -v /boot /boot: 224657408 bytes were trimmed merkaba:~> fstrim -v /boot /boot: 0 bytes were trimmed But BTRFS does not: merkaba:~> fstrim -v / /: 4431613952 bytes were trimmed merkaba:~> fstrim -v / /: 4341846016 bytes were trimmed Is it planned to add this feature to BTRFS

I have a custom built system based on LFS 6.6 with xen 4.1.0 & linux 2.6.39 built from source. The system boots correctly on one system (after a problem with the USB disk has been worked around), however when I try to boot the same system on another machine the screen corrupts shortly after handover from the bootloader. This happens on 2 out of the 3 machines I have tried it on. I was

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:

Hi, I compiled a 3.0 kernel for my system, used the same config of my already working 2.6.39.1 kernel on the same system. But whenever extlinux tries to load my 3.0 kernel it crashes instantly and reboots, not even 1 kernel msg is displayed. So it seems like the kernel isn't loaded at all and crashes. Rgds, /reni

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, this is a new attempt to improve the output of the command "btrfs fi df". The previous attempt received a good reception. However there was no a general consensus about the wording. Moreover I still didn''t understand how btrfs was using the disks. A my first attempt was to develop a new command which shows how the disks

Hello list, recently reformatted my home partition from XFS to RAID1 btrfs. I used the default options to mkfs.btrfs except for enabling raid1 for data as well as metadata. Filesystem is made up of two 1TB drives. mike@mercury (0) pts/3 ~ $ sudo btrfs filesystem show Label: none uuid: f08a8896-e03e-4064-9b94-9342fb547e47 Total devices 2 FS bytes used 888.06GB devid 1 size 931.51GB used

In 2007 I bought 6 WD1600JS 160GB sata disks and used 4 to create a raidz storage pool and then shelved the other two for spares. One of the disks failed last night so I shut down the server and replaced it with a spare. When I tried to zpool replace the disk I get: zpool replace tank c10t0d0 cannot replace c10t0d0 with c10t0d0: device is too small The 4 original disk partition tables look like

Very low priority. No user data at risk. 8GB virtual disk being installed to, and the installer is puking. I''m trying to figure out why. I first get an rsync error 12, followed by the installer crashing. What''s interesting is this, deleting irrelevant source file systems, just showing the mounts for the installed system: [root@localhost tmp]# df Filesystem

Hello, I have a question regarding "btrfs filesystem df"output. # btrfs fi df /mnt/test Data: total=3.01GB, used=512.19MB System, DUP: total=8.00MB, used=4.00KB System: total=4.00MB, used=0.00 <= What this means?

Hi Chris, this serie of patches updated the command "btrfs filesystem df". I update this command because it is not so easy to get the information about the disk usage from the command "fi df" and "fi show". This patch was the result of some discussions on the btrfs mailing list. Many thanks to all the contributors. From the man page (see 2nd patch): [...] The

Hello, on a fs with 4 disks, raid 10 for data, one drive was failing and has been removed.

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

Dear Devs, I have x4 4TB HDDs formatted with: mkfs.btrfs -L bu-16TB_0 -d raid1 -m raid1 /dev/sd[cdef] /etc/fstab mounts with the options: noatime,noauto,space_cache,inode_cache All on kernel 3.8.13. Upon using rsync to copy some heavily hardlinked backups from ReiserFS, I''ve seen: The following "block rsv returned -28" is repeated 7 times until there is a call trace

Hello, There is a feature of zfs (autoexpand, or zpool online -e ) that it can consume the increased LUN immediately and increase the zpool size. That would be a very useful ( vital ) feature in enterprise environment. Though when I tried to use it, it did not work. LUN expanded and visible in format, but zpool did not increase. I found a bug SUNBUG:6430818 (Solaris Does Not Automatically
