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, 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

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

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

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

-----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

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.

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

I''m currently researching an upgrade to (raid1-ed) btrfs from mostly reiserfs (which I''ve found quite reliable (even thru a period of bad ram and resulting system crashes) since data=ordered went in with 2.6.16 or whatever it was. (Thanks, Chris! =:^)) on multiple md/raid-1s. I have some questions that don''t appear to be addressed well on the wiki, yet, or where

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, There''s been discussion before on this list on the very small number of hard links supported by btrfs.[1][2] In those threads, an often asked question has been if there''s a real world use case the limit breaks. Also it has been pointed out that a fix for this would need a disk format change. As discussed in bug #15762 [3], there are certainly real-world use cases this

Hi All, The official wiki seems to have lost references to "scrub" if not other commands. The last changes iss filled with account creation so I can''t see easily when that happened. Have I missed a policy change go through which is not reflected in the (Debian/Siduction) btrfs userland program yet or has something else happened? Kind regards -- To unsubscribe from this list:

Hi, I am new to btrfs, and just installed a new system with SLED 11 SP2 a few days ago. However the system seems to be in a real sad state now, saying there is no free space left on the device even though there is about 8GB left on the / filesystem. A defragment works sometimes but then it goes back to the original state a day or two later. Other times the command just won''t respond.

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

Fix that when scrub tries to repair an I/O or checksum error and one of the devices containing the mirror is missing, it crashes in bio_add_page because the bdev is a NULL pointer for missing devices.

Hello, I''m using kernel 3.1.0 and I have both / and /home as btrfs. I used suspend to ram quite often and never had a problem, but yesterday I''ve suspended to get into a plane and when I resumed my /home was all about input/output errors. Reboot did not help either. My root (/) did not suffer any problems. Today I''ve upgraded btrfs-progs to latest GIT and tried scrub
