The skip_balance mount option prevents a balance from being continued. On all my systems I have rootflags=skip_balance in the GRUB configuration because so far I have never had a system reboot during a balance for any reason other than a system crash caused by the balance. I think it would be good to have a program comparable to tune2fs that allows us to set the state of such things. It would be a lot easier than modifying boot loader configuration on lots of systems. Also rootflags=skip_balance will abort the boot if you run kernel 3.2.0 and that caused me some annoyance when I applied it to all systems including the one with a stock Debian/Wheezy configuration. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ -- 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
