Re: kernel BUG when removing missing drive (Take 2)

2010-10-29 Thread Erik Jensen
So, I ended up just applying the relevant commit to my existing source tree, which did allow me to successfully remove the missing drive, so I seem to be back up and running. Thank you very much! -- Erik On Thu, Oct 28, 2010 at 1:57 PM, Chris Mason chris.ma...@oracle.com wrote: On Tue, Oct

Blog: BTRFS is effectively stable

2010-10-29 Thread Chris Samuel
A friend of mine who builds storage systems designed for HPC use has been keeping an eye on btrfs and has just done some testing of it with 2.6.36 and seems to like what he sees in terms of stability. http://scalability.org/?p=2711 # But it passed our stability test. 100 iterations (3.2TB #

[patch 0/2] Control filesystem balances (kernel side)

2010-10-29 Thread Hugo Mills
These two patches give a degree of control over balance operations. The first makes it possible to get an idea of how much work remains to do, by tracking the number of block groups (chunks) that need to be moved/rewritten. The second patch allows a running balance operation to be cancelled

[patch 1/2] Balance progress monitoring.

2010-10-29 Thread Hugo Mills
This patch introduces a basic form of progress monitoring for balance operations, by counting the number of block groups remaining. The information is exposed to userspace by an ioctl. Signed-off-by: Hugo Mills h...@carfax.org.uk --- fs/btrfs/ctree.h |9 fs/btrfs/disk-io.c |2

[patch 2/2] Cancel filesystem balance.

2010-10-29 Thread Hugo Mills
This patch adds an ioctl for cancelling a btrfs balance operation mid-flight. The ioctl simply sets a flag, and the operation terminates after the current block group move has completed. Signed-off-by: Hugo Mills h...@carfax.org.uk --- fs/btrfs/ctree.h |1 + fs/btrfs/ioctl.c | 25

[patch 0/2] Control filesystem balances (userspace)

2010-10-29 Thread Hugo Mills
These two patches complement the previous two kernel-side patches. The first implements a way of displaying the current progress of any running balance process. The second patch allows a running balance to be cancelled. I'm a bit uncertain about the best name for these commands. Several
