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

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

Fedora provides yum-fs-snapshot. If installed, on each package installation or update a snapshot of all btrfs filesystems is taken, so it is possible to revert the installation/update. Suppose an update failed and I want to get back: with # btrfs subvolume set-default yum-snapshot-whatever / I define which snapshot to use at the next boot. After rebooting I decide I really want to stay with

The following series implement a way to generate the help messages and the btrfs man page from the sources comments for the "btrfs" commanda . The syntax and the detailed help of every subcommand are stored in the comments before the function which implements the subcommand. The fact that the help messages and the man page are generated from the same source should help to avoid

-----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

Add a mount option user_subvol_rm_allowed that allows users to delete a (potentially non-empty!) subvol when they would otherwise we allowed to do an rmdir(2). We duplicate the may_delete() checks from the core VFS code to implement identical security checks (minus the directory size check).

Hi, Let me know if this is the wrong place to ask... I''m using Fedora 12 x86_64, mostly with the newer 21.6.32 kernel, and have a single btrfs filesystem within a 120Gb partition. I''d like to extend the space btrfs can use. One option is presumably add a new device to btrfs, but I was hoping to simple resize the existing partition to say 160Gb. With ext4 I might do

Hi Seto, please could you update also the man page too ? Why it was not provided a way to clear a *single* flag ? To me it seems a bit too long to clear all the flag (btrfs mount-option clear) and then set the right one. As user interface I suggest something like chmod: btrfs mount-option set +ssd,skip_balance -nodatacow /dev/sdX or btrfs mount-option set =ssd,skip_balance,nodatacow

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

Hi, for a backup program I have to find all differing files (including metadata) in two snapshots taken from the same subvolume. Having looked at the find-new command I thought about this process: 1. Get the two transids when the two snapshots were created. 2. Query modifications to the original subvolume between the two transids. Is the general process corrent or have I overseen

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

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

Hi all, below a configuration for udev/initramfs which I propose to scan the block devices looking for a multi-volume btrfs filesystem. Btrfs has the capability to span a file-system on multiple device. In order to do that, the involved devices have to be "registered" in the kernel. In order to do that there are two options: # btrfs device scan <device> (or the old

Currently the resize command is under filesystem, and takes a path to the mounted filesystem. This seems wrong to me. Shouldn''t it be under device, and take a path to a device to resize? Otherwise, how can a resize operation when you have multiple devices make any sense? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to

Hi Chris, This is the extent of my current queue of Btrfs snapshot/subvol/commit stuff. Most of these were posted several months ago. Can be sent upstream during this merge window? Not having this functionality is becoming a bit of a roadblock for our efforts to keep the Ceph data in a consistent state. These patches are also available from

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

- Add incompat flag, otherwise btrfs-progs will report error when operating on btrfs filesystems mounted with lzo option. - Allow to turn on lzo compression for defrag operation: # btrfs filesystem defragment -c[zlib, lzo] <file> Note: "-c zlib" will fail, because that''s how getopt() works for optional arguments.
