Is there a way to mix RAID 1 and 0 in different subvolumes? I am a new user to btrfs and would like to protect the important files with mirroring, but have a bulk area that is striped for speed and size. For example I want / and /home to be mirrored, but /media can just be striped as it is all data I can easily recreate. I see an item in the Project_ideas wiki entry called "Online raid

Hi What is the general state of btrfs RAID6 as of kernel 3.13-rc1 and the latest btrfs tools? More specifically: - Is it able to correct errors during scrubs? - Is it able to transparently handle disk failures without downtime? - Is it possible to convert btrfs RAID10 to RAID6 without recreating the fs? - Is it possible to add/remove drives to a RAID6 array? Regards, Hans-Kristian -- To

Hi list, I am using kernel 3.9.0, btrfs-progs 0.20-rc1-253-g7854c8b. I have a three disk array of level single: # btrfs fi sh Label: none uuid: 2e905f8f-e525-4114-afa6-cce48f77b629 Total devices 3 FS bytes used 3.80TB devid 1 size 2.73TB used 2.25TB path /dev/sdd devid 2 size 2.73TB used 1.55TB path /dev/sdc devid 3 size 2.73TB used 0.00 path /dev/sdb

Hi, I''ve observed a rather strange behaviour while trying to mount two identical copies of the same image to different mount points. Each modification to one image is also performed in the second one. Example: dd if=/dev/sda? of=image1 bs=1M cp image1 image2 mount -o loop image1 m1 mount -o loop image2 m2 touch m2/hello ls -la m1 //will now also include a file calles "hello"

Hello list, i know what btrfs don''t support swap files. I read arch wiki and when i reading about systemd addon for auto create swapfile on btrfs, i invent the way, how create and using swap file, just see following sh code: swapfile=$(losetup -f) #free loop device truncate -s 8G /swap #create 8G sparse swap file losetup $swapfile /swap #mount file to loop mkswap $swapfile swapon

Hey all, Just did a btrfs balance on a single device. Before the balance operation here is the df result: inglor@tiamat ~$ btrfs fi df /home Data: total=19.19GB, used=9.34GB System, DUP: total=32.00MB, used=4.00KB Metadata, DUP: total=896.00MB, used=227.98MB Then I issues a balance operation relocating the chunks across a single device: inglor@tiamat ~$ sudo btrfs fi balance /home [sudo]

I''m having some trouble working out how to make the SDL interface for HVM domUs appear. The documentation simply says "it will appear" when you start the domU, but doesn''t state what packages or libraries are needed in order for this magic to happen, or explain how to debug it if it doesn''t happen. All that I''m getting at the moment is a domU (running

Hi, I wanted to create a new btrfs fs for my backups. When trying to mkfs.btrfs for that device, I''m getting "error checking /dev/loop2 mount status" With strace I see where the problem is: lstat("/dev/disk/by-id/ata-INTEL_SSDSA2M160G2GC_CVPO939201JX160AGN-par", 0x7fffa30b3cf0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) The problem is there is something missing

I''ve just pushed out a new integration branch to my git repo. This is purely bugfix patches -- there are no new features in this issue of the integration branch. I''ve got a stack of about a dozen more patches with new features in them still to go. I''ll be working on those tomorrow. As always, there''s minimal testing involved here, but it does at least compile on

I''m trying to install RHEL 4 on an HVM (Core 2 Duo). However, when the RHEL installer tries to start the kernel, it complains that the CPU doesn''t support extended mode, and that I should use a 32-bit installer.

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?

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, my btrfs "hangs" when doing a balance operation. I''m using a 3.7.1 kernel from opensuse: linux-opzz 3.7.1-2.10-m4 #11 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 11 18:04:04 CET 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux and Btrfs v0.19+ I did a scrub which completed without errors. Then I tried "btrfs filesystem balance /" which work fine for the first 23 of 46 chunks, then ist stopped

Dear Devs, I have x4 4TB HDDs formatted with: mkfs.btrfs -L bu-16TB_0 -d raid1 -m raid1 /dev/sd[cdef] /etc/fstab mounts with the options: noatime,noauto,space_cache,inode_cache All on kernel 3.8.13.

Hello all, I recently had a power failure and can no longer mount my /home directory. The harddrive has two BTRFS partitions: sda7(/) and sda8(/home). The / partition loads up just fine, but /home does not. I''ve tried btrfsck as shown below and I''ve included dmesg pertaining to btrfs. This is on ArchLinux and the software versions are as follows: btrfs-progs-unstable

How can I verify the read speed of a btrfs raid0 pair in archlinux.? I assume raid0 means striped activity in a paralleled mode at lease similar to raid0 in mdadm. How can I measure the btrfs read speed since it is copy-on-write which is not the norm in mdadm raid0.? Perhaps I cannot use the same approach in btrfs to determine the performance. Secondly, I see a methodology for raid10 using
