btrfs won't mount any more
Hi, I have wrecked another btrfs file system, probably for good this time. It's a 80 GB filesystem from 2015, in my secondary notebook, on an encrypted SSD. The btrfs holds the root filesystem and the rest of the system as well. I have a cronjob that makes snapshots of the system directories daily, and of /home every ten minutes. A second cronjob cleans up old snapshots so that the number of snapshots present is about between 400 and 600. This is the key feature that made me decide for btrfs in the first place. Last week (I was on kernel 4.10.8 with Debian unstable), I was forced to promote the secondary laptop to the primary one which resulted in serious work being done on the first time. Over time, the filesystem filled up without me noticing and was finally 100% full. I then cleaned up about four gigs by deleting a couple of redundant ISO images and some snapshots that were not due for regular deletion yet. I then started a btrfs balance / -d50, unfortunately without stopping the snapshot-making cronjob. This resulted in the notebook becoming unuseable for extended periods of time, without even being able to log in. After running for some 30 hours, the notebook ran out of battery (don't ask, stupid me). After rebooting, the btrfs balance proceeded immediately after mounting the root fs. System unuseable again. After a day, I finally had a root shell and was able to issue a btrfs cancel /. Unfortunately, the system didn't care about that command and happily continued to balance. After some more 30 hours, I lost patience and resetted the system. To be able to keep control of the system and to monitor operations from remote, I installed a fresh copy of Debian unstable with the same 4.10.8 kernel on an USB stick and booted the notebook from the stick. I brought up the system and tried to mount the btrfs. The mount process quickly went up to 100 % CPU usage and stayed that way until I went to bed last night. This morning, the machine had dropped off the network (couldn't ping the default gateway any more despite the network looked fine), and spewed kernel oopses of about 80 lines (too long to scroll back even) every few seconds. I will try to tweak kernel.printk tonight so that I get my console back and see whether the oopses are also in journal, dmesg or syslog so that I can copypaste them. I also have a reasonably current backup of the filesystem so nuking it from orbit is an option, I would however hate losing my snapshots. Is it worthwhile to save information about the borked filesystem, or does the btrfs community just dont care about a heavily snapshotted two years old filesystem? I would like to hear comments and opinions about what has happened here and how to avoid things like that in the future. Do more recently created btrfs filesystems have safeguards against damage that may occur when a filesystem fills up? Greetings Marc -- ----- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.

So if this is the cause, you obviously hit a bug.

So if the disk would actually lie, I would have had much trouble even earlier. It's an SSD from 2013 or 2014, I think from Kingston. The box is offline and remote at the moment, so I cannot give the exact type. Between the btrfs and the actual disk there was a dm-crypt/LUKS layer and LVM, but I can reproduce the crash from an image on a different host now. > Even in such a case, using an older root would help, although that > possibility is almost certainly gone now.

I have re-built the btrfs and restored from backup, so I can access the disk again. It's a Crucial/Micron RealSSD m4/C400/P400 M4-CT256M4SSD1 with 256 GB Capacity. I do have an image of the bad btrfs that makes the kernel oops on mount, reproducibly. Does this help in debugging? Greetings Marc -- ----- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.

I used logger(1) to have in syslog which command I executed, and I have piped the userspace's output to logger so that the syslog entries match the userspace output. -mprofile gave an error message, I therefore tried -mprofiles, and -sprofiles wanted me to use the --force, so I did that as well. The three balance commands above all three finshed alright without running into ENOSPC, while running a plain balance (which is also part of the log) errors out every time. And, the -dprofiles=single log caused a number of INFOs regarding btrfs-cleaner and btrfa-balance processes gotten stuck for more than 120 seconds during the run. I now have a kworker and a btfs-transact kernel process taking most of one CPU core each, even after the userspace programs have terminated.

balance hangs and starts again on reboot
Hi, I have another btrfs on the same host that has no the no space left on device balance issue, but on another disk. On this btrfs, it seems like a balance process is stuck, with a lot of hanging kernel threads. After a reboot, when I mount the filesystem, the balance immediately starts again. btrfs balance cancel just hangs around with no visible reaction for hours. Log appended. Is there rescue?

This list has repeatedly eaten log attachments without giving any indication why. I had assumed that attachments are disallowed here, and am taking careful attention that inserted logs are not wrapped on my side. The list archives (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg52663.html) show that my efforts not to cause wrapping on my side were actually successful. What is the most helpful way to include logs? Pastebinning them would probably reduce the list archives' usefulness due to pastebin expiring, attaching doesn't work (see above), and including them causes "annoying MUA wrapping". I do only have 24 years of e-mail experience, so I'm a clueless newbie, maybe one can give advice how to do that properly. I'm going to try the sysrq+w thing next time things happen.

I'm snapshotting /home every 10 minutes, the filesystem that I have been posting logs from has about 400 snapshots, and snapshot cleanup works fine. The slow snapshot removal is a different filesystem on the same host which is on a rotating rust HDD, and is much bigger. > By 3000 snapshots per filesystem, you'll be beginning to notice slowdowns > in some btrfs maintenance commands if you're sensitive to it, tho it's > still at least practical to work with, and by 10K, it's generally > noticeable by all, at least once they thin down to 2K or so, as it's > suddenly faster again!

I have dug aroud in my auth.logs, and thanks to my not working in a root shell but using sudo for every single command I can say that the filesystem was created on September 1, 2015, so it is not _this_ old, and snapshot.debian.net tells me that Debian unstable had btrfs-tools 4.1.2 uploaded on August 31, so i guess that the filesystem was either created by the 4.0 version we had since May 2015 or by the brand new 4.1.2. And it was a mkfs.btrfs with no special options. I suspected this since I would probably not have made an ext4 filesystem of 300 GB in size. Back in the ext4 days, I usually made /, /usr, /var, /home and /boot their own filesystems. > Tho AFAIK there was in addition a very narrow timeframe in which a bug in > mkfs.btrfs would create invalid btrfs'.

Debian is chastized for their allegedly quirky release schedules even in this thread, I usually ignore that, but this time a smile comes to my face when I say that btrfs-progs 4.1.1 was never packaged in Debian, hence we're clear of this bug here. We went from 4.0 straight to 4.1.2. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.

Nearly none. It's a workstation which I have avoided using in the last days due to the filesystem trouble and to avoid impact of local work to the filesystem behavior. I even log out after working on the box for a few minutes. There is a Debian apt-cacher running on the box and writing its cache to this btrfs, but /var is on its own subvolume that is only snapshotted once a day. I'll move /var/cache to its own subvolume and set this subvolume on a "no snapshots" schedule.

I mount with noatime and nodiratime anyway, and the directory the snapshots are mounted to (/mnt/snapshots) are excluded in updatedb.conf.

An fs created with > older tools had 512MiB from start AFAIK Confirmed, a new btrfs of 200 GB made on a rotating disk has 16 MiB of global reserve. Unfortunately, I do not have history about how this grew over time. The first btrfs fi usage I have on file was about half a day into this fs' existence on Mar 7, after copying data on to it, and Global reserve was already at 512 MiB. > > Mar 14 10:51:06 fan root: BEGIN btrfs balance start -mprofiles=dup / > > This probably should have been -mprofiles=single > So that its gets more clear where and when the enospc errors occur Good catch.

It was then imaged, and then resized back to 300 GiB in the hope that this will fix the size issue. fanbtr is the new btrfs, on /dev/mapper/fanbtr: Label: 'fanbtr' uuid: 90f8d728-6bae-4fca-8cda-b368ba2c008e Total devices 1 FS bytes used 82.45GiB devid1 size 200.00GiB used 113.03GiB path /dev/mapper/fanbtr it was created on march 7, had the data from ofanbtr cp'ed over, and is being used as the active filesystem since then. It is smaller because I don't have much more room on the SSD. Both do have the same balance issue, yes. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.

My "productive" desktops (fan is one of them) run Debian unstable with a current vanilla kernel. At the moment, I can't use 4.5 because it acts up with KVM. When I need a rescue system, I use grml, which unfortunately hasn't released since November 2014 and is still with kernel 3.16 Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.

No, the productive system was always on a reasonably recent kernel. I guess that this instance of btrfs has never been mounted on anything older than 4.4.4. The rescue system I used to btrfs check (4.4-1 from Debian unstable, I updated btrfs-tools on the rescue system before going btrfs check) had kernel 3.16, but I have never actually mounted the btrfs there. > >Then btrfs check is a userspace-only matter, as it wants the fs > >unmounted, and it is irrelevant that I did btrfs check from a rescue > >system with an older kernel, 3.16 if I recall correctly. > > Not recommended to use older kernel to RW mount or use older fsck to do > repair. Oldest kernel that has mounted this btrfs is 4.4.4, fsck that touched the fs is 4.4.

This does not work on kernel 4.4.6 with tools 4.4.

How to cancel btrfs balance on unmounted filesystem
Hi, one of my problem btrfs instances went into a hung process state while blancing metadata. This process is recorded in the file system somehow and the balance restarts immediately after mounting the filesystem with no chance to issue a btrfs balance cancel command before the system hangs again. Is there any possiblity to cancel the pending balance without mounting the fs first? I have also filed https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115581 to adress this in a more elegant way.

Thanks. I now have this in all fstabs. On the system in questionl, I was able to sneak in a btrfs balance cancel before the system hanged itself.

And, since going back to ext4, the system is just fine again. So it's not bad hardware. This systems's root drive is going to stay on ext4 for a loong time. If I get the btrfs phenomena I experience on other hosts get solved at some time in the future, I might migrate /home back to btrfs, but that's not going to happen in the next six months. This is a really bad experience which has made me lost a lot of faith in the new filesystem. I really feel sad about that. Greetings Marc -- ----- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.

That being said, I would still expect the code not to allow _this_ kind of effect on the entire system when two alledgely incompatible operations run simultaneously. I mean, Linux is a multi-user, multi-tasking operating system where one simply cannot expect all processes to be cooperative to each other.

Second, cleartext found on the block device is quite unlikely to be readable from the unlocked crypto device. I would be very worried if that were the case. I must be missing something here.

If I do: umount /dev/mapper/foo cryptsetup close /dev/mapper/foo cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/mapper/pv-c_foo cryptsetup open /dev/mapper/pv-c_foo foo and the contents of /dev/mapper/foo would randomly resemble its previous contents afterwards, I would be _very_ disturbed. During the luksFormat process, a new random symmetric key is created, and overwrites the old random symmetric key in the LUKS header. Therefore, the following crypto operations are _very_ unlikely to produce something that resembles an ext4 fileystem. Even if I did: umount /dev/mapper/foo cryptsetup close /dev/mapper/foo mkfs.btrfs /dev/mapper/pv-c_foo (assuming I previously did cryptsetup open /dev/mapper/pv-c_foo foo) I would be _very_ surprised if the kernel would find something resembling and ext4 file system on /dev/mapper/pv-c_foo. > If you're concerned about traces of previous file systems, then use > the dmcrypt device itself, rather than merely using the original block > device where merely 132K at the beginning has been overwritten. > Everytime you format a device, the resulting dmcrypt logical device is > in effect full of completely random data.

"disk full" on a 5 GB btrfs filesystem, FAQ outdated?
Hi, I have a banana pi with a btrfs filesystem of 5 GB in size, which frequently runs out of space (lots of snapshots).

Is there any possibility to find out about the kernel version that a filesystem was created with?

My normal way to recover from this situation is to btrfs add a new device, btrfs balance, btrfs --convert=single --force balance, btfs device remove, btr balance start -mconvert=dup --force and finally balance start again. Is there any solution to solve this more elegantly? Greetings Marc -- ----- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.

Don't the btrfs-tools used to create the filesystem also play a huge role in this game? Greetings Marc -- ----- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.

Re: btrfs filesystem keeps allocating new chunks for no apparent reason

If yes, I'd try turning it off just for the fun of it and to see whether this changes btrfs' allocation behavior. I have never looked at apt's pdiff stuff in detail, but I guess that it creates many tiny temporary files. Greetings Marc -- ----- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
