dead links in wiki about why not using lz4

2017-09-12 Thread Alberto Bursi
Since zstd was added in btrfs there are people wondering why not lz4 too. The wiki paragraph [1] cites a couple dead links as explanations on why it's not a good idea to have lz4 in btrfs. I think it would be nice if someone can write that information back in the wiki, or for the very least

Copy BTRFS volume to another BTRFS volume including subvolumes and snapshots

2016-10-13 Thread Alberto Bursi
Hi, I'm using OpenSUSE on a btrfs volume spanning 2 disks (set as raid1 for both metadata and data), no separate /home partition. The distro loves to create dozens of subvolumes for various things and makes snapshots, see: alby@openSUSE-xeon:~> sudo btrfs subvolume list / ID 257 gen 394 top

check if hardware checksumming works or not

2016-06-05 Thread Alberto Bursi
Hi, I'm running Debian ARM on a Marvell Kirkwood-based 2-disk NAS. Kirkwood SoCs have a XOR engine that can hardware-accelerate crc32c checksumming, and from what I see in kernel mailing lists it seems to have a linux driver and should be supported. I wanted to ask if there is a way to test
