Hi,
I am trying to switch my BackupPC filesystem to btrfs, so I upgraded to kernel 3.7.5 as I understand it has support for more hard links. However I still get the 'too many hard links error'. I looked at Mark Fasheh's patch, and from my rudimentary udnerstanding it seems like I need to set BTRFS_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_EXTENDED_IREF in the superblock. Is there any way to edit the superblock of an existing filesystem to enable extended inode refs so that more hard links can be used? I even went as far as backing up the filesystem, re-formatting using the mkfs in the latest git version of btrfs-progs, and restoring but it still doesnt work - too many hard links. Aparently the mkfs patch wasnt even applied in git yet? $ grep -ir BTRFS_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_EXTENDED_IREF . $ Does this mean I shouldnt be using the feature just yet? :P Thanks, Norbert -- 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
