Btrfs-progs Alternatives

btrfs-progs reviews and mentions

• ERROR: parent subvol is not reachable from inside the root subvol
  1 project | /r/btrfs | 7 Jul 2023

  Not an error I've seen before or that makes much sense to me at first glance, might want to take this to https://github.com/kdave/btrfs-progs/issues or the mailing list?

• Understanding btrfs with uneven disk sizes
  1 project | /r/btrfs | 21 Jun 2023

  You can test it by allocating the space to see if it can use it all: e.g. fallocate -l 3.8t /mnt/elfstone2/butts should succeed. If it does, then it's probably fine even if the balance didn't do what it should have. If not and you run out of space with some unallocated space left on only one device, not so much. If its the same bug I saw that means if your fs was created pre kernel 5.19, it will not allocate correctly on >5.19 until the array is rebuilt under the newer kernel.

• What does the btrfs autodefrag option actually do?
  1 project | /r/btrfs | 19 Jun 2023

  Mount options should be documented either at https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Administration.html or at the manual page section 5 (man 5 btrfs). Autodefrag is in section https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Administration.html#btrfs-specific-mount-options . In case you find more information missing, unclear, lacking cross-references please open an issue at https://github.com/kdave/btrfs-progs/issues .

• Checksum algorithm

• Sure, btrfs-balance is slow, but this is ridiculous
  1 project | /r/btrfs | 17 Jan 2023

  Resume sort of doesn't work, when you resumed it will have started a fresh balance with a high usage value (check your syslog to confirm).

• Is it normal for btrfs scrub "bytes scrubbed" to exceed 100%?
  1 project | /r/btrfs | 15 Dec 2022

  That's the hint. It's an unfixed bug with the accounting when scrub is paused and resumed, the relevant issue is I think https://github.com/kdave/btrfs-progs/issues/227 .
