I ran my example from the first mail again and managed to write 7 files
this time, "qgroup show" still shows 16kB after sync:
root@t420:/media/extern/snap# btrfs qg limit -e 50M .
root@t420:/media/extern/snap# for file in {1..100}; do touch $file;
sleep 5m; done
touch: cannot touch ‘8’: Disk quota exceeded
^C
root@t420:/media/extern/snap# sync
root@t420:/media/extern/snap# btrfs qgroup show -pcre .
qgroupid rfer excl max_rfer max_excl parent child
-------- ---- ---- -------- -------- ------ -----
0/5 16.00KiB 16.00KiB none none --- ---
0/257 16.00KiB 16.00KiB none none --- ---
0/258 16.00KiB 16.00KiB none 50.00MiB --- ---
root@t420:/media/extern/snap# btrfs fi sync .
FSSync '.'
root@t420:/media/extern/snap# btrfs qgroup show -pcre .
qgroupid rfer excl max_rfer max_excl parent child
-------- ---- ---- -------- -------- ------ -----
0/5 16.00KiB 16.00KiB none none --- ---
0/257 16.00KiB 16.00KiB none none --- ---
0/258 16.00KiB 16.00KiB none 50.00MiB --- ---
By the way, I don't if its relevant but the problem is not limited to
exclusive quotas, but also happens when setting a "referenced" limit
(qgroup limit without "-e").
Thanks,
Johannes
