Hello! I have a 1 TB ext4 drive that''s quite full (~50 GB free space, though I could free up another 100 GB or so if necessary) and two empty 0.5 TB drives. Is it possible to get another 1 TB drive and combine the four drives to a btrfs raid10 setup without (if all goes well) losing my data?

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

Hi What is the general state of btrfs RAID6 as of kernel 3.13-rc1 and the latest btrfs tools? More specifically: - Is it able to correct errors during scrubs? - Is it able to transparently handle disk failures without downtime? - Is it possible to convert btrfs RAID10 to RAID6 without recreating the fs? - Is it possible to add/remove drives to a RAID6 array? Regards, Hans-Kristian -- To

Hi, I have added 2x2Tb to my existing 2x2Tb raid 1 btrfs filesystem and then ran a balance: # btrfs filesystem show Total devices 4 FS bytes used 1.74TB devid 3 size 1.82TB used 0.00 path /dev/sdd devid 4 size 1.82TB used 0.00 path /dev/sde devid 2 size 1.82TB used 1.75TB path /dev/sdc devid 1 size 1.82TB used 1.75TB path /dev/sdb # btrfs

If there is no free space, the free space allocator will try to get space from the block group with the degenerated profile. For example, if there is no free space in the RAID1 block groups, the allocator will try to allocate space from the DUP block groups. And besides that, the space reservation has the similar behaviour: if there is no enough space in the space cache to reserve, it will reserve

How can I verify the read speed of a btrfs raid0 pair in archlinux.? I assume raid0 means striped activity in a paralleled mode at lease similar to raid0 in mdadm. How can I measure the btrfs read speed since it is copy-on-write which is not the norm in mdadm raid0.? Perhaps I cannot use the same approach in btrfs to determine the performance. Secondly, I see a methodology for raid10 using

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

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

I''m a little concerned about the size of my metadata. I''m doing raid10 on both data and metadata, and: hrm@vlad:mnt $ sudo btrfs fi df /mnt Data: total=488.01GB, used=487.23GB Metadata: total=3.01GB, used=677.73MB System: total=11.88MB, used=52.00KB hrm@vlad:mnt $ find /mnt | wc -l 20137 By my calculations, that''s something on the order of 17.5K per filesystem

Hallo, "never change a running system" ... For some months I run btrfs unter kernel 3.2.5 and 3.2.9, without problems. Yesterday I compiled kernel 3.3.4, and this morning I started the machine with this kernel. There may be some ugly problems. Copying something into the btrfs "directory" worked well for some files, and then I got error messages (I''ve not

Hi, i have some questions when using Btrfs on multi-devices: 1. a large file will always be stored wholely on a device or it may spread on some devices/partitions? Btrfs has option to specify it explicitly? 2. suppose i have a directory tree like that: Dir_1  |--> file_1A  |--> file_1B  |--> Dir_2          |--> file_2C          |--> file_2D If Dir_2, file_2C  on a failed device,

i am looking at using btrfs for a new project and i have a few questions:     * i have heard that as it currently stands Btrfs has some issues to be used as a Lustre file system; is he aware of the issues and any plans to address these and integrate Btrfs in to Lustre     * any plans to support native clustering on Btrfs     * on ZFS the ZIL is a separate device, any plans to implement a the

I''m having some trouble working out how to make the SDL interface for HVM domUs appear. The documentation simply says "it will appear" when you start the domU, but doesn''t state what packages or libraries are needed in order for this magic to happen, or explain how to debug it if it doesn''t happen. All that I''m getting at the moment is a domU (running

Hi list, I am using kernel 3.9.0, btrfs-progs 0.20-rc1-253-g7854c8b.

Hi, I wanted to create a new btrfs fs for my backups. When trying to mkfs.btrfs for that device, I''m getting "error checking /dev/loop2 mount status" With strace I see where the problem is: lstat("/dev/disk/by-id/ata-INTEL_SSDSA2M160G2GC_CVPO939201JX160AGN-par", 0x7fffa30b3cf0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) The problem is there is something missing

I''ve just pushed out a new integration branch to my git repo. This is purely bugfix patches -- there are no new features in this issue of the integration branch. I''ve got a stack of about a dozen more patches with new features in them still to go. I''ll be working on those tomorrow. As always, there''s minimal testing involved here, but it does at least compile on

Hi, I''ve observed a rather strange behaviour while trying to mount two identical copies of the same image to different mount points. Each modification to one image is also performed in the second one. Example: dd if=/dev/sda? of=image1 bs=1M cp image1 image2 mount -o loop image1 m1 mount -o loop image2 m2 touch m2/hello ls -la m1 //will now also include a file calles "hello"

I''m trying to install RHEL 4 on an HVM (Core 2 Duo).
