Firstly I know what I've been doing has been less than 100% safe, but I've been prepared to live with it.
For about 2 years now (you know from around the time btrfs looked like RAID5/6 was just around the corner) I've had a server with a 5 disk RAID10 btrfs array. I realise there has been quite some change to the btrfs implementation since 2.6.38 but I'm hoping that there shouldn't be anything blocking me moving to a much more modern kernel. My proposed upgrade method is: Boot from a live CD with the latest kernel I can find so I can do a few tests: A - run the fsck in read only mode to confirm things look good B - mount read only, confirm that I can read files well C - mount read write, confirm working Install latest OS, upgrade to latest kernel, then repeat above steps. Any likely hiccups with the above procedure and suggested alternatives? -- Gareth Pye Level 2 Judge, Melbourne, Australia Australian MTG Forum: mtgau.com gar...@cerberos.id.au - www.rockpaperdynamite.wordpress.com "Dear God, I would like to file a bug report" -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
