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

Hallo, linux-btrfs, please delete the option "-L" (for labelling) in "mkfs.btrfs", in some configurations it doesn''t work as expected. My usual way: mkfs.btrfs -d raid0 -m raid1 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd ... One call for some devices. Wenn I add the option "-L mylabel" then each device gets the same label, and therefore some other programs

I''ve filed this bug under util-linux, because I think wipefs isn''t deleting all btrfs metadata it could. But ultimately it appears to be a btrfs bug because nothing else sees the stale volume. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=889888#c15 btrfs-progs-0.20.rc1.20121017git92d9eec-1.fc18.x86_64 e2fs-progs-1.42.5-1.fc18.x86_64 kernel 3.7.1-2 Brand new 80GB virtual disk,

Btrfs has been broken for me for ages. I first reported it on this list 5 months ago[1]. Below is a very simple reproducer that anyone can run. *NB* before you run this, adjust /dev/sda & /dev/sda1 to point to an unused block device! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh - set -e while true; do parted -s -- /dev/sda mklabel msdos parted -s --

Hello, is it possible to set nodatacow on a per-file basis? I couldn''t find anything. If not, wouldn''t that be a great feature to get around the performance issues with VM and database storage? Of course cloning should still cause COW. Thanks, Ralf-Peter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to

I have a couple computers running 2.6.38 (Ubuntu Natty 2.6.38-8-generic), and on both of them "btrfs device scan" comes back with nothing other than "failed to read /dev/sr0" One computer has a btrfs RAID-1 volume, and the other has two separate btrfs filesystems. The results are the same whether the filesystems are mounted or not. Why is "btrfs device scan" not

So if you have a mount command that doesn''t use /etc/mtab then it will spit out a different device for the mounted device. So say we have SCRATCH_DEV_POOL="/dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc" we will turn this into SCRATCH_DEV="/dev/sda" SCRATCH_DEV_POOL="/dev/sdb /dev/sdc" and then when you mkfs this you do _scratch_mkfs $SCRATCH_DEV_POOL which turns into this

Hi, My company is testing btrfs (kernel 2.6.38) on a slave MySQL database server with a 195Gb filesystem (of which about 123Gb is used). So far, we''re quite impressed with the performance. Our database loads are high, and if filesystem performance wasn''t good, MySQL replication wouldn''t be able to keep up and the slave latency would begin to climb. This though, is

Hallo, linux-btrfs, I''m working with btrfs for some days. btrfs-progs-20101101, kernel 2.6.35.8 (both self compiled). First step: mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdd1 mount /dev/sdd1 /srv/MM for a 2 TByte partition, worked well. Copying about 1,5 TByte data to this partition worked well. Second step: btrfs device add /dev/sdc1 /srv/MM btrfs filesystem balance

Hello, I am on Ubuntu Server 13.04 with Linux 3.8. I''ve created a "single-raid" using /dev/sd{a,b,c,d}{1,3}.

Hi, I try to format a USB memory with a Btrfs. I can format it with mkfs.btrfs without problems. But; when I try to mount it, it fails to mount with the below error messages. But the USB memory works fine with other filesystems (ext4, XFS etc.). So, the hardware is not faulty. tarkane@tarkane:~$ sudo mkfs.btrfs -d single -n 4096 /dev/sdb1 WARNING! - Btrfs v0.18-26-g0030f1d IS EXPERIMENTAL

Hello, The question below is based on https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-users/2012- August/004509.html Thanks in advance for any help with the following question, including pointing me to some other info resource if needed.

Hi guys, I was playing on vmware with btrfs on complete disks /dev/sd{b,c,d,e}. Next I decided to use partitions, so I created /dev/sd{b,c,d,e}1 and used those, worked fine! Afterward, I mistakenly re-ran an old command on the full disk ( mount -t btrfs -o subvol=. /dev/sdb /mnt/ ) notice this is sdb not sdb1, and I got this spectacular kernel freeze. Let me know if that''s some bug.

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

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.
