Is there a way to backup/restore a btrfs volume without losing all the
associated metadata? (something like xfsdump/restore?)
brtfs-image looks somewhat what one would need, except that it clears the
actual data (for debugging purposes I guess?). I guess it also doesn't work on
a mounted filesy
, but in stock 2.6.37 only BLKDEV_SECURE has any effect.
Just in case, I'm posting here the changes required to backport current btrfs
to 2.6.37 (just a few minor changes).

Hi everyone. I was trying to test a more recent version of btrfs on my current
kernel (2.6.37) using dkms, without success.
I followed these instructions:
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfs_source_repositories
- cloned the repo
- symlinked to /usr/src/btrfs-git
- patched version.sh:

I've noticed that I can also rename subvolumes as well using mv(1).
Can I move/re-arrange

What happens if I mount t
Hi everyone, I'm experimenting with btrfs but I have some question
regarding subvolumes.
First: In the / filesystem I create a subvolume named /home. As soon as
the subvolume is created, I can already see the entry point in /home
without having to mount it separately. Is that expected?
Mounting t
