similar to: [Bug 10170] New: rsync should support reflink similar to cp --reflink

I am testing a Btrfs root file system with Debian (kernel 2.6.32) under KVM. jason@vrtl:~$ touch testfile jason@vrtl:~$ cp --reflink testfile /tmp cp: failed to clone `/tmp/testfile'': Invalid argument This is with GNU Coreutils 8.0 taken from debian Sid. Is this a Coreutils issue, a Btrfs problem or something in my local configuration? All the other issues that I have encountered so

Glück Auf! I know its been discussed more then ones, but as a user I really would like to see the patch for allowing this in the kernel. Some users tested this patch successfully for weeks or months in 2 or 3 kernel versions since then, true? I''d say by creating a snapshot, it''s nothing else in the end. More then one file or tree sharing the same data on disc, or am I wrong?

Hello, This is the second attempt to bring in cross subvolume reflinks into btrfs. The first attempt was NAKed due to missing vfs mount checks and a clear description of what btrfs subvolumes are and probably also why cross subvolume reflinks are ok in the case of btrfs. This version of the patch comes from David and is in SUSE kernels since a long time, so it is tested and working. The patch

This testscript creates reflinks to files on different subvolumes, overwrites the original files and reflinks, and moves reflinked files between subvolumes. Originally submitted as testcase 302, changes are made based on comments from Eric: http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2013-03/msg00231.html Two new common/rc functions used in this script (_require_cp_reflink and _verify_reflink) have been

Hi, how can I do the following in a shell script: - check whether my file system supports cp --reflink? - check whether two files share the same data on disk, i.e. one has been created by cp --reflink of the other?

Hellow, everyone I'm from HuaWei, China. We are looking for the candidate of virtualization platform among several vendors. Learned from Oracle people, the latest version of ocfs2 has integrated reflink feature which was commited to the the linux 2.6.32 kernel. But as we know, the sles11 integrated the linux 2.6.27 kernle, so the relink feature is not avaiable on the sles11 platform. We

In reflink we update the id info in the disk but forget to update the corresponding information in the VFS inode. So update them accordingly in case we want to preserve the attributes.

It''s been nearly a year since the patches needed to implement a reflinked copy between subvolumes have been posted (http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/9865 ) and I still get "Invalid cross-device link" error with Linux 3.2.4 while I try to do a cp --reflink between subvolumes. This is a *very* useful feature to have (think offline file-level

WayneD's clone-dest patch seems to be working for me, it's available here: https://github.com/WayneD/rsync-patches/blob/master/clone-dest.diff I've written some very basic tests, which I've attached to this email, in case they are of use to anyone else. They're also available here: https://github.com/josephmaher/rsync Notes: Tests need to be run as root.

Hi everyone, I described the reflink operation at the Linux Storage & Filesystems Workshop last month. Originally implemented as an ocfs2-specific ioctl, the consensus was that it should be a syscall from the get-go. Here's some first-cut patches. For people who have not seen reflink, either at LSF or on the ocfs2 wiki, the first patch contains Documentation/filesystems/reflink.txt to

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

Inlined xattr shared free space of inode block with inlined data or data extent record, so the size of the later two should be adjusted when inlined xattr is enabled. See ocfs2_xattr_ibody_init(). But this isn't done well when reflink. For inode with inlined data, its max inlined data size is adjusted in ocfs2_duplicate_inline_data(), no problem. But for inode with data extent record, its

Hi, In fileio.c, function write_sparse() there is a bug that can lead to corrupt copies if the write() call only completes partially. for (l1 = 0; l1 < len && buf[l1] == 0; l1++) {} for (l2 = 0; l2 < len-l1 && buf[len-(l2+1)] == 0; l2++) {} sparse_seek += l1; if (l1 == len) return len; if (sparse_seek)

Hi, i have some virtual machines running on logical volumes formatted with OCFS2. I'd like to snapshot the running guests to backup them easily afterwards. The files of the guests are big (100 - 300GB), but the content changes only slowly. So i thought that rsync would be a great benefit because it justs transfers the difference between the current file and the one backuped one day before. I
