similar to: snapshot structure

Hello, We''re a team of 4 final year computer science students and are working on generating a diff between file system snapshots using the send receive code. The output of our utility looks like this- (I''ve tested it on a small subvol with minimal changes just to give an idea) root@nafisa-M-6319:/mnt/btrfs# btrfs sub diff -p /mnt/btrfs/snap1 /mnt/btrfs/snap2

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

Good afternoon btrfs, I have been having issues with snapshots not reading the whole file tree below them. I have installed new btrfs-progs from git://git.darksatanic.net/repo/btrfs-progs-unstable.git made and installed them. My tree is: /Btrfs | |__ nfs1 | |__ data |

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

In snapshot destroy the dentry used for parent was the snapshot dentry itself. Remove d_invalidate since always return EBUSY, making possible to remove a snapshot using the btrfsctl -D option.

Hi Everyone, Recently i created a snapshot of an existing volume which had some amount of data. Now that after creating the snapshot i have tried deleting the same snapshot. But i am getting ENOTEMPTY for "rmdir". But when i see the actual files inside are deleted not the parent directory. From the code it looks like if (inode->i_size >

What happens if you set an individual file inside a subvolume as nocow (chattr +C) and then take a snapshot of that subvolume and modify the file in both? Will btrfs now ignore the nocow attribute completely or will it do "as few copies as possible"? (I''d love to know if it''s possible to visualize the fragmentation of a single file.) -- To unsubscribe from this list:

At the beginning of August, Mikulas Patocka posted to linux-kernel mailing list about adding snapshot merging to LVM[1]. Basicaly, snapshot merging means that it is possible to turn a snapshot back into its origin. Using LVM, however, means that you need to have free place outside of the filesystem (i.e., in physical volume) to make snapshots, which is not always possible on workstations and

Hi, using btrfs with LVM snapshots seems to be confusing /proc/mounts After mounting a snapshot of an original filesystem, the devicename of the original filesystem is overwritten with that of the snapshot in /proc/mounts. Steps to reproduce: arnd@kallisto:/mnt$ sudo mount /dev/vg0/original /mnt/original [ 107.041432] device fsid 5c3e8ca2-da56-4ade-9fef-103a6a8a70c2 devid 1 transid 4

Greetings all, I see the following issue during snap creation under IO: Transaction commit calls btrfs_start_delalloc_inodes() that locks the delalloc_inodes list, fetches the first inode, unlocks the list, triggers btrfs_alloc_delalloc_work/btrfs_queue_worker for this inode and then locks the list again. Then it checks the head of the list again. In my case, this is always exactly the same

Is there a limit to the number of snapshots that can exist on a file system concurrently? Did I read something here recently about a limit to the number of paths by which a file could be known? If there are limits, then what happens when I bump into or exceed that limit? --rich -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to

Hi, a recent Ubuntu upgrade killed my system. Luckily I had done a btrfs snapshot before, so I set the particular subvolume as default using # btrfs subvolume set-default 261 /mnt from a rescue system and was back up in no time. I then mounted the original volume with subvolid=0 and repaired it. So far so good. However, I fail to set the default volume back to the original. # btrfs subvolume

Hi everyone, I was trying the new send/receive feature today but can''t make it work. These are the commands I was using: btrfs subvol snap -r /mnt/data1/@downloads/ /mnt/data1/snapshots/testsnap btrfs send /mnt/data1/snapshots/testsnap | btrfs receive /mnt/data1/snapshots/testreceive/ This command never finishes. A ''ls /mnt/data1/snapshots/testreceive/ '' never

Hi, I will send a series patches that add snapshot/subvol deletion soon. But the way to delete snapshot/subvol is far from people''s expectancy. To delete a snapshot/subvol, we need four steps: 1) snapshot/subvol deletion ioctl or rmdir; 2) umount; 3) btrfsck; 4) mount the fs. The reason for this is bug in root back & forward references. In simple terms, the bug prevents us from

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

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

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.

Hi everyone, This patchset is the latest approach I''m using for the Ceph storage daemon to keep track of which data has safely committed to disk. The basic idea is to not use the (problematic) user transaction ioctls at all. Instead, the daemon quiesces its own write requests, initiates an async snapshot, and then continues. The snapshot approach is nice because it provides rollback.
