* btrfs-progs: check: add support to clear v1 free space cacheQu Wenruo2016-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kernel clear_cache mount option will only rebuild free space cache if the used space of that chunk has changed. So it won't ensure any corrupted free space cache get cleared. So add a new option "--clear-space-cache v1|v2" to btrfsck, to completely wipe out free space cache. So kernel won't complain again.

* btrfs-progs: dump-super: changes in options to specify superblocksDavid Sterba2016-09-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | Some tools (check, select-super, dump-super) can use the alternate superblocks, but the options are not consistent. To make it less confusing, change the meaning of option -s in 'dump-super' to specify the superblock copy, instead of taking the offset. Though this is a change in UI, the old usage is detected and the result would be the same, no breakage in existing scripts. 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: add option to run balance as daemonAustin S. Hemmelgarn2016-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, balance operations are run synchronously in the foreground. This is nice for interactive management, but is kind of crappy when you start looking at automation and similar things. This patch adds an option to `btrfs balance start` to tell it to daemonize prior to running the balance operation, thus allowing us to preform balances asynchronously. The two biggest use cases I have for this are starting a balance on a remote server without establishing a full shell session, and being able to background the balance in a recovery shell (which usually has no job control) so I can still get progress information. Because it simply daemonizes prior to calling the balance ioctl, this doesn't actually need any kernel support. Signed-off-by: Austin S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | A short delay with a warning before starting a full balance should improve usability.

The countdown is done even when run from scripts, but as the whole balance takes significanly more time, this shouldn't be an issue. Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
