This makes sense. > Can you test the patch below? It supercedes the other one. I've tested the patch with a btrfs test directory and this test: BTRFS_TESTDIR=... prove -bvw t/nodatacow.t after adding the local git repo to PERL5LIBs With a BTRFS dir as BTRFS it all works, the ioctl are passed and files are indeed nocow (checked with lsattr afterwards as files aren't deleted) With a tmpfs instead the tests fail as it tried to call the ioctl anyway -- I didn't take the time to check if thest mtab parsing was removed, is the ioctl tried anyway or does setting the environment variable skip this part? If so then it's probably fine. (the failure is as below: ------ $ BTRFS_TESTDIR=/tmp/test strace -o /tmp/strace -f prove -bvw t/nodatacow.t t/nodatacow.t .. ok 1 - use PublicInbox::Syscall; /run/current-system/sw/bin/lsattr: Operation not supported While reading flags on /tmp/test/nodatacow-rfqh/pp.f not ok 2 - `C' attribute set on fd with pure Perl # Failed test '`C' attribute set on fd with pure Perl' # at t/nodatacow.t line 31. # '' # doesn't match '(?^:C.*\/tmp\/test\/nodatacow\-rfqh\/pp\.f)' /run/current-system/sw/bin/lsattr: Operation not supported While reading flags on /tmp/test/nodatacow-rfqh/pp.d not ok 3 - `C' attribute set on dir with pure Perl # Failed test '`C' attribute set on dir with pure Perl' # at t/nodatacow.t line 38. # '' # doesn't match '(?^:C.*\/tmp\/test\/nodatacow\-rfqh\/pp\.d)' 1..3 # Looks like you failed 2 tests of 3.

No worry, one step at a time is good :) Wish you the best, -- Dominique
