Glück Auf! I use now kernel 3.2. The filesystem was originally created under 2.6.39 on 1 whole hdd, mounted with "noatime,nodiratime,inode_cache". I use it for backups: rsync the whole system to a subvolume, snapshot it and then delete some tempfiles in the snapshot, which are 90% of the full-backup, all once a day. In figures: on this 1 TB hdd is the full-backup with around 600 GiB and

Hello, Trying to balance a 2TB filesystem on the 3.8.5 kernel: Label: ''p2'' uuid: 01f6cc8b-d305-40e1-bac8-8fdd548f611e Total devices 1 FS bytes used 1.32TB devid 1 size 1.80TB used 1.37TB path /dev/sda2 System: total=4.00MB, used=156.00KB Data+Metadata: total=1.37TB, used=1.32TB I am getting a Segmentation fault in ''btrfs'' utility, and following in

Hello, I have a filesystem that has become unusable because of a balance I can''t stop. It is very close to full, and the balance is preventing me from growing it. It was started like this: sudo btrfs filesystem balance start -v -musage=60 -dusage=60 /srv/backups It has been stuck at 0% across reboots and kernel upgrades (currently on 3.8.1), and cancelling it had no effect: Balance

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

Hello, is it possible to set nodatacow on a per-file basis? I couldn''t find anything. If not, wouldn''t that be a great feature to get around the performance issues with VM and database storage? Of course cloning should still cause COW. Thanks, Ralf-Peter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to

Hello list, i know what btrfs don''t support swap files. I read arch wiki and when i reading about systemd addon for auto create swapfile on btrfs, i invent the way, how create and using swap file, just see following sh code: swapfile=$(losetup -f) #free loop device truncate -s 8G /swap #create 8G sparse swap file losetup $swapfile /swap #mount file to loop mkswap $swapfile swapon

Hi. I''m considering an imminent switch from ext4 to btrfs and I''m hoping that someone can lend me advice before I do something unsupported. I have a software raid 6 array configured via mdadm. It was sitting at 8 x 3TB until I recently doubled that, grew the array and found that ext4 doesn''t want to resize. So, I''m looking to: 1. convert from ext4 to btrfs

In btrfs if we mount with "compress" we have no way to disable compressing by remounting (mount -o remount /mnt/btrfs), only by unmounting and mounting without "compress". This patch adds "nocompress" mount option which can be used to remount the filesystem without compression: # mount -o remount,nocompress /mnt/btrfs This option is usefull in cases when we have a

Good morning Btrfs list, I am trying to create a subvolume of a directory tree (approximately 1.1 million subvolumes under nfs1). The following error is thrown and without the wiki I don''t know what argument is needed. I am running kernel 3.1.0-rc4. [root@btrfs ~]# btrfs sub snapshot /btrfs/nfs1/ /btrfs/snaps/ Invalid arguments for subvolume snapshot [root@btrfs ~]# btrfs sub list

I made a btrfs on five disks using RAID5 (-d raid5 for mount option). When a power failure occurs, I can not remount btrfs after my system reboots. Dmesg for remount is presented as following: [ 192.713953] bio: create slab <bio-1> at 1 [ 192.716230] Btrfs loaded [ 192.717177] device fsid a0dff7ea-9354-43fd-8516-0e17f370991d devid 1 transid 6 /dev/sdb [ 192.717712] btrfs: disk space

I have been experimenting exporting btrfs subvolumes over nfs. Main subvolume is filesys1 mounted at /filesys1. Below this is subvolume base, user1 is in base and documents is in user1. documents is mounted at /documents. /etc/exports is: /filesys1/base/user1 172.16.0.0/24(rw,no_acl,no_root_squash,fsid=0) /filesys1/user1-snapshot 172.16.0.0/24(rw,no_acl,no_root_squash,fsid=0)

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:

Hi, I have a box with / and /home being subvolumes from the same btrfs filesystem. /etc/fstab: UUID=c0686... / btrfs subvol=root,x-systemd.device-timeout=0 1 1 UUID=c0686... /home btrfs subvol=home,x-systemd.device-timeout=0 1 1 ... / is initially mounted readonly by the initramfs, and then after switching to the real system, /home is attempted to be mounted in parallel with /

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

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

Kernel 3.1-rc8 btrfs-progs-0.19 mount options: noatime,autodefrag (space_cache is enabled) There are snapshots present on the filesystem. When I do a btrfs fi defrag on a file, the file becomes much more fragmented. The end result can be a file with 20k times more fragments than before. Initially I thought the extents were just smaller but were next to each other, so I checked with both

Hi, I have 4 machines, all converted to BTRFS about 6 months ago, now all running Ubuntu Quantal with kernel 3.5.0-17 The matter is that all these machines are now getting slower and slower everyday, every disk access causing the disk to be 100% busy for long periods, to the point that I''m now seriously considering migrating everything back to ext4... From the start BTRFS was "not

I believe 30 sec is the default for the checkpoint interval.  Is this adjustable? -- 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 http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
