similar to: /boot as a btrfs subvolume

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

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

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

I've just tried putting usr in a subvol. Installation proceeds normally, no errors, but I'm dropped to a dracut prompt which indicates mount of /usr failed. dmesg follows: [ 14.025215] systemd[1]: Starting dracut initqueue hook...

Setting subvolume/snapshot readonly has been missing for a long time. With this patch, we can set a subvolume/snapshot readonly via: o btrfs subvolume set-ro <path> Signed-off-by: Liu Bo <liubo2009@cn.fujitsu.com> --- cmds-subvolume.c | 40 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ioctl.h | 7 +++++++ 2 files changed, 47 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git

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

Probably because the specified file wasn't found by the firmware on partition 1, so it

I installed CentOS 7 on a Shuttle X27D box (dual-core Atom 330), and so far it seems to work fine, but it didn't set up a Grub2 entry for the existing Windows XP installation in the first partition (MBR). Running os-prober generates no output. fdisk shows that the NTFS partition is still present as /dev/sda1, and still has the bootable flag set. I added a menuentry for Windows to the end of

Hi list, I don''t trust theoretical benchmarks that much and prefer "real-life benchs" on the occasion, so here''s mine: Given 4 laptops, the most powerful of which was running BTRFS and the others ext3 or ext4, all machines running Ubuntu 11.04 Natty 32-bit with a stock Ubuntu 2.6.38-11 kernel, all machines were given the following FS-intensive task : - Upgrade

Is btrfs subvol support failing just for me? Looks like nothing adds the required '@/' string. virt-ls uses the first variant of the command: ><rescue> mount -vo subvol=var/spool,ro /dev/sda2 /sysroot/ [ 113.852047] BTRFS info (device sda2): disk space caching is enabled [ 113.852869] BTRFS: has skinny extents mount: mount(2) failed: No such file or directory ><rescue>

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 guys, After having received strong advice from the people in this list to upgrade my kernel to the latest one, I have installed 3.8.0-14-generic #24-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 on several (4) machines. In the hope of improving systems speed I had also removed all snapshots then defragged the FSes - the snapshots have been recreated since, as I use the excellent SuSE "Snapper" tool. But well,

I have tried 4 time unsuccessfully to install Xen 4 on Ubuntu Lucid (10.4) 64 bit version using the tutorial at http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2010/04/24/set-up-ubuntu-10-04-server-pv-domu-at-xen-4-0-dom0-pvops-2-6-32-10-kernel-dom0-on-top-of-ubuntu-10-04-server/ on a Lenovo thinkcentre workstation. When I boot I get a kernel panic. If I boot the Linux kernel that I compiled using the

I thought I would try btrfs on a new installation of f14. yes, I know its experimental but stable so it seemed to be a good time to try it. I am not sure if I have missed something out of all my searching but am I correct in thinking that currently: I. it is not possible to boot from a snapshot of the operating system and, in particular, the yum snapshots cannot be used for

I have RHEL 7 Beta installed in dual boot with CentOS 6.x. Since RHEL 7 installed GRUB2, I had problem that RHEL 7 is default boot. My personal solution was to go to /etc/grub.d and run command: mv 10_linux 31_linux grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Explanation: - /etc/grub.d is where grub2 writes down config files used to create boot menu. - OS-prober creates 30_os-prober file in

I am a relative newcomer to using extlinux. I am running Fedora 20 which means I am using syslinux 4.05. When I noticied that all of your documentation said that booting off ext234 and btrfs was supported, I gave it a try. Indeed, this does work with the boot files and the extlinux directory installed into the btrfs (root) volume. Has any thought been given to supporting supporting

Hi, folks, Well, I get back from vacation, and three CentOS 7 boxes didn't come up this morning (my manager and the other admin did the update & reboot). On these three - but *not* another one or two, and I don't think those others are Dells, they're supermicro's - the 327 kernel fell into the rdosshell, I guess. I finally got one the three up by going back to the 228.14

I''ve been running BTRFS for a while testing out various stuff, and I''ve found it to be quite stable (although reading this list makes me realize how much activity there really is).. I just hit my first bump in the road, and I wondered if someone could give me a hint how I can gather enough information to be useful here. Basically, the filesystem I''m running is a 2 disk

Hi there, I have a system on which btrfsck gives the following output... I don''t understand the meaning of the reported errors, so any clue would be appreciated. Is this something I should worry about, or not ? Would I be advised to try "--repair" ? (Last time I tried this one, it completely b0rked a filesystem, beyond repair, and my wife would kill me ifever I trash this one,

If I boot into CentOS on my home server from a Live CD or USB stick and go to Troubleshoot, it lists OS's it finds on the machine. How does it find these OS's? Presumably it looks through all the partitions on all the hard disks for something that looks like an OS? But how exactly does it identify an OS? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College,
