Glück Auf! I know its been discussed more then ones, but as a user I really would like to see the patch for allowing this in the kernel. Some users tested this patch successfully for weeks or months in 2 or 3 kernel versions since then, true? I''d say by creating a snapshot, it''s nothing else in the end. More then one file or tree sharing the same data on disc, or am I wrong?

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

sorry forgot to follow the protocol, now included RFC in the subject. Hi, Appears that no one is working on the auto-snapshot feature for btrfs, so here I am implementing the same. Below is a draft on the feature list. Any comments / questions / suggestions are welcome, please do let me know. btrfs auto snapshot feature will include: Initially: - configurable timely

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

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

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

Good morning Btrfs list, I have been loading a btrfs file system via a script rsyncing data files from an nfs mounted directory. The script runs well but after several days (moving about 10TB) rsync reports that it is sending the file list but stops moving data because btrfs balks saying too many files open. A simple umount/mount fixes the problem. What am I flushing when I remount that

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

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

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

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

As I''ve been using btrfs with an external USB drive, I wonder how to handle efficiently the compression setting. When I plug a drive in to ubuntu, it is automatically mounted. Its mounted without the compression option as its not in fstab. I don''t see it as desirable to install each usb drive in fstab on each computer that it may be used just so that compression is

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

Alex pointed out the consequences after a transaction is not committed when a subvolume is deleted, so in case of a crash before an actual commit happens will let the subvolume reappear.

I''m wondering is space really freed after deleting large subvolume?

Hi. petrb@bots-bnr1:/mnt$ btrfs subvolume delete ext2_saved/ Delete subvolume ''/mnt/ext2_saved'' ERROR: cannot delete ''/mnt/ext2_saved'' this is not really very descriptive. It would be really cool if it told me why it can''t delete it. For example: Permission denied. Cannot delete ... Disk write error. Cannot delete Descriptive error messages

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

NOTE: in order to apply this patch you should: git mv btrfsck.c cmd-fsck.c This patch moves btrfsck in to "btrfs fsck". It also adds support for symlinks to the btrfs binary to retain compablity, =) I think something should be done to the help description but i''m not sure what...
