* btrfs-progs: check: adjust command line options for the low-memory modeDavid Sterba2016-08-17
| | | | | | | | Change the single-purpose option --low-memory to a generic option that takes the mode. Currently supported are the original mode and the low-memory in the same way. Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
* btrfs-progs: check: introduce low memory modeLu Fengqi2016-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a new fsck mode: low memory mode. Old btrfsck is working efficiently but uses some memory for each extent item. This method will ensure extents are only iterated once at extent/chunk tree check process. But since it uses some memory for each extent item, for a large fs with several TB metadata, this can easily eat up memory and cause OOM. To handle such limitation and improve scalability, the new low-memory mode will not use any heap memory to record which extent is checked. Instead it will use extent backref to avoid most of uneeded checks on shared fs/subvolume tree blocks. And with the use forward and backward reference cross check, we can also ensure every tree block is at least checked once.

* btrfs-progs: Documentaion: rename to .asciidocDavid Sterba2015-04-14
A few minor benefits: * editors set highliting according to the extensions * web access to the git repository (github) renders the .asciidoc files: * we can link to them from the wiki * the files are editable via browser and such editations can be submitted for merge easily Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.cz>
