Hi list, I'm a new BTRFS user and will try not to ask FAQs ;-)
I'm currently using Btrfs v0.19 on stock Ubuntu Natty (kernel 2.6.38) and use a BTRFS inside an encrypted LVM. The wiki "gotchas" page https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Gotchas states : « btrfs volumes on top of dm-crypt block devices (and possibly LVM) require write-caching to be turned off on the underlying HDD. Failing to do so, in the event of a power failure, may result in corruption not yet handled by btrfs code. (2.6.33) » ...So I've turned my write cache off, but I notice this is stated for kernel 2.6.33, so wonder if this still is an issue with 2.6.38, or has it been addressed since ? Thanks in advance for your help. Kind regards. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
