raid0 confusion question

2021-01-16 Thread Tim Cuthbertson
I thought raid0 "striped" the data across two or more devices to increase total capacity, for example when adding a new device to an existing filesystem. But that is not apparently what I ended up with. Before: btrfs device usage /mnt/backup/ /dev/sdc1, ID: 1 Device size: 300.00GiB

3.17.2 kernel patches for btrfs

2014-10-30 Thread Tim Cuthbertson
Does the new Linux 3.17.2 kernel have sufficient patches to safely use btrfs with subvolume snapshots and incremental send/receive? I ask because 3.17.1 was released just before the btrfs patches for these issues, so I have been waiting for 3.17.2. However, from reading the kernel changelog, it app

Confusion with newly converted filesystem

2014-10-09 Thread Tim Cuthbertson
I will try to explain what I have done, but also try to keep it fairly short. I installed a Linux distro that does not support installing to btrfs to an ext4. I ran dist-upgrade to ensure that I have the latest btrfs-tools. I upgraded the Debian kernel from 3.13 to 3.16.3. When all this was complet

Managing large volumes

2014-01-02 Thread Tim Cuthbertson
I am a bit confused and I have probably managed to outsmart myself. For about 15 months, I have been running my system on a single, large btrfs volume. It is RAID-0 on two SATA-III HDD's for a total of 1.9 TB. This is a home system running Siduction (Debian Sid) Linux. While I have root, home, and
