Hi list, I have a few large image files (VMware workstation VMDKs and TrueCrypt containers) which I routinely back up over the network to a btrfs raid10 volume via bigsync (https://code.google.com/p/bigsync/). The VM images in particular get really fragmented due to CoW, which is expected. I haven''t yet switched off CoW on the backups directory mainly to experiment and see what

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

Hi, I have btrfs volume, shared via samba. I have a directory of documents that I want to backup on my server. win7 reports a maximum of ~3.10MB/s transfer transferring the same directory on a ext4 samba share I get 25MB/s + Any ideas? Is it like that because of how btrfs works and is setup? Thanks, -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body

I came across the tidbit that ZFS has a contract guarantee that the data read back will either be correct (the checksum computed over the data read from the disk matches the checksum stored on disk), or you get an I/O error. Obviously, this greatly reduces the probability that the data is invalid. (Particularly when taken in combination with the disk firmware''s own ECC and checksumming.)

Hi folks, I''m using Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal with # uname -r 3.5.0-24-generic And it seems I cannot defrag : # filefrag /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-24-generic /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-24-generic: 3 extents found # btrfs filesystem defrag /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-24-generic # echo $? 20 # filefrag /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-24-generic /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-24-generic: 3 extents found Any clue

Hi! Today I converted my /home from Ext4 to BTRFS by reformatting and copying all over again. I created the filesystem with -l 16384 -n 16384 -d single -m single on an logical volume Intel SSD 320 and mount with compress=lzo,spacecache. Current state: merkaba:~> btrfs filesystem show failed to read /dev/sr0 Label: ''home'' uuid: […] Total devices 1 FS bytes used

While exploring some btrfs maintenance with respect to defragmenting I ran the following commands: # filefrag /path/to/34G.file /path/to/5.7G.file /path/to/34G.file: 2406 extents found /path/to/5.7G.file: 572 extents found Thinking those mostly static files could be less fragmented I ran: # btrfs filesystem defragment -c /path/to/34G.file # btrfs filesystem defragment -c /path/to/5.7G.file and

So I''m having a bit of trouble with one of my btrfs filesystems. It isn''t mounting after a power failure. I can''t get restore or btrfsck to run, even on backup supers. I''ve pasted some output below. My btrfs-progs below come from git this morning, running on linux 3.2.0. # mount /dev/md2 /media/test/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on

I just subscribed to this list so in case this subject has already been discussed at length, my apologies. I have been waiting for btrfs forever. I have been waiting for it to become reasonably stable. In the wake of escalating problems with my old hardware RAID setup, I decided now was the time to make the transition. At this point I have been completely transitioned to btrfs for nearly

Hi Bas, I'm not sure if this is of interest, but I also had issues with VM disk-image sparse-files (in my case KVM, rather than VMWare), which I've now resolved. http://www.finalcog.com/rsync-vm-sparse-inplace-kvm-vmware All the best, Chris Dew. P.S. Apologies for any breach of etiquette - I could not see Bas' email address on

-----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

For using SSDs: Are there any format/mount parameters that should be set for using btrfs on SSDs (other than the "ssd" mount option)? General questions: How long is the ''delay'' for the delayed alloc? Are file allocations aligned to 4kiB boundaries, or larger? What byte value is used to pad unused space? (Aside: For some, the erased state reads all 0x00, and for

Hello, I have created a btrfs filesystem with RAID1 setup having 2 disks. Everything works fine but when I try to umount the device and remount it in degraded mode, the data still goes into both the disk. ideally in degraded mode only one disk show disk activity and not the failed ones. System Config: Base OS: Slackware kernel: linux 3.3.2 "sar -pd 2 10" shows me that the data is

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 found that I''m able to provoke undefined behaviour with 2.6.38 with extent defragmenting + recompression, eg: mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb mount /dev/sdb /mnt cp -xa / /mnt find /mnt -print0 | xargs -0 btrfs filesystem defragment -vc After a short time, I was seeing what looked like a secondary effect [1]. Reproducing with lock instrumentation reported recursive spinlock acquisition, probably

- 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.

Hi, all, I got machines running continuously for long time, but then the underlying ext3 file systems becomes quite heavily fragmented (94% non-contiguous). We just don't have a chance to shutdown the machines since they are always busy.. I tried the defrag 0.70 version comes with e2fsprog package and standalone 0.73 packages, but neither help me since the defrag tool can not handle ext3.

This follows Linux commit 39fe05e58c5e448601ce46e6b03900d5bf31c4b0, noticing that all this setup is pointless when ARAT support is there, and knowing that on SLED11''s native kernel it has actually caused S3 resume issues. A question would be whether HPET legacy interrupts should be forced off in this case (rather than leaving whatever came from firmware). Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich
