That's interesting, but a bit overkill for my needs : I'll stay with my
simple script for this project.

You don't even need dd_rescue or something for RaspberryPi creation,

Yes, seems similar.

Thanks for suggestion, I may try this another time, but I can live with
my workaround.

Right, this is why I send this message, try to motivate a dev to look at
this issue ;)

This looks like to have a similar root cause as this:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org/msg81536.html

For 50 clones, you could prepare 1 master (sparse) image and change
the UUID with btrfstune for every SD-card you have after written the
image (optionally sparse write with e.g. dd_rescue).

But it looks like some change is needed in the kernel code, although I
have no clue at the moment where exactly.


Untar on empty partition returns ENOSPACE

2018-10-17 Thread Jean-Denis Girard
Hi list,

My goal is to duplicate some SD cards, to prepare 50 similar Raspberry Pi.

First, I made a tar of my master SD card (unmounted). Then I made a
script, which creates 2 partitions (50 MB for boot, 14 GB for /),
creates the file-systems (vfat and btrfs, default options), mounts the
two partitions:

mount $part2 $mnt
-ocompress=zstd,space_cache=v2,autodefrag,noatime,nodiratime
mkdir $mnt/boot
mount $part1 $mnt/boot

When untarring, I get many errors, like:
tar:
./usr/lib/libreoffice/share/gallery/arrows/A45-TrendArrow-Red-GoUp.png :
open impossible: No space left on device
tar:
./usr/lib/libreoffice/share/gallery/arrows/A53-TrendArrow-LightBlue-TwoDirections.svg
: open impossible: No space left on device
tar:
./usr/lib/libreoffice/share/gallery/arrows/A27-CurvedArrow-DarkRed.png :
open impossible: No space left on device
tar:
./usr/lib/libreoffice/share/gallery/arrows/A41-CurvedArrow-Gray-Left.svg
: open impossible: No space left on device

Which usually results in unusable SD card.

When the first errors occur, less than 1 GB has been written. I tried to
change mount options, especially commit interval, but still got ENOSPACE.

What I ended up doing is limiting write speed with:
xzcat $archive | pv -L 4M | tar x
(with -L 5M I start to get a couple of errors)

Is there a better work around? Or a patch to test that could help?

The machine that runs the script has:
[jdg@tiare tar-install]$ uname -r
4.19.0-rc7-snx
[jdg@tiare tar-install]$ btrfs version
btrfs-progs v4.17.1
