(btrfs balance start > -dusage=0 -musage=0 /mountpoint) Since I had to explain this very same thing to a new btrfs-using friend just yesterday I wondered if it might not make sense for mkfs to issue a general balance after creating the fs? It should be simple enough (just issue the balance ioctl?) and not have any negative side effects. Just doing such a post-mkfs cleanup automatically would certainly reduce the number of times we have to explain the this. :) Any reasons why we couldn't/shouldn't do this? -h -- 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
