(default since btrfs-progs 3.18, kernel support since 3.10) Increased hardlink limit per file in a directory to 65536, older kernels supported a varying number of hardlinks depending on the sum of all file name sizes that can be stored into one metadata blockД®xtended format for RAID5/6, also enabled if raid5 or raid6 block groups are selected (default since btrfs-progs 3.12, kernel support since 3.7) Mixed data and metadata block groups, also set by option The waiting is usually done on the initramfs/initrd systems. The mount action can happen before all block devices are discovered. This can happen on systems without initramfs/initrd and root partition created with RAID1/10/5/6 profiles. That this means only scanning, if the devices do not exist in the system, mount will fail anyway. # mount -o device=/dev/sdb,device=/dev/sdc /dev/sda /mnt

Btrfs wipefs registration#

The same command can be used to trigger the device scanning if the btrfs kernel module is reloaded (naturally all previous information about the device registration is lost).ДЄnother possibility is to use the mount options device to specify the list of devices to scan at the time of mount. On a system that utilizes a udev-like daemon, any new block device is automatically registered. There is typically no action needed from the user. The recognized suffixes are: k, m, g, t, e, both uppercase and lowercase.Д«efore mounting a multiple device filesystem, the kernel module must know the association of the block devices that are attached to the filesystem UUID. All size parameters accept suffixes in the 1024 base. The UUID must not exist on any filesystem currently present. Options -features or -help are unaffected. To check for any known filesystem on the devices. To see all available features that mkfs.btrfs supports run:ДЇorcibly overwrite the block devices when an existing filesystem is detected. To disable a feature, prefix it withДЇor more details. Not all features are supported by old kernels. This does not require root permissions and does not mount the filesystem.ДЄ list of filesystem features turned on at mkfs time. Populate the toplevel subvolume with files from Should be less than 256 bytes and must not contain newline characters.Дo not perform whole device TRIM operation on devices that are capable of that. Therefore it is not recommended to use this option unless you are going to mount it on a system with the appropriate page size. If the sectorsize differs from the page size, the created filesystem may not be mountable by the kernel. The default value is the page size and is autodetected. Specify the sectorsize, the minimum data block allocation unit. Versions up to 3.11 set the nodesize to 4k. Must be equal, and the block group types must match. Thie mixed mode may lead to degraded performance on larger filesystems, but is otherwise usable, even on multiple devices. The soft recommendation is to use it for filesystems smaller than 5GiB. The recommended size for the mixed mode is for filesystems less than 1GiB. The separate allocation of block groups leads to a situation where the space is reserved for the other block group type, is not available for allocation and can lead to ENOSPC state.

This helps to utilize the free space regardless of the purpose and is suitable for small devices. Mode will remove the isolation and store both types in the same block group type. Normally the data and metadata block groups are isolated.

Note that the rotational status can be arbitrarily set by the underlying block device driver and may not reflect the true status (network block device, memory-backed SCSI devices etc). Valid values areДЄ single device filesystem will default toДUP, unless a SSD is detected. Specify the profile for the metadata block groups. Specify the profile for the data block groups. If this option is not used, mkfs.btrfs uses the entire device space for the filesystem. (An option to help debugging chunk allocator.) Specify the (physical) offset from the start of the device at which allocations start. See section MULTIPLE DEVICES for more details. Multiple devices are grouped by UUID of the filesystem.Д«efore mounting such filesystem, the kernel module must know all the devices either via preceding execution of btrfs device scan or using the device mount option. is typically a block device but can be a file-backed image as well. Mkfs.btrfs is used to create the btrfs filesystem on a single or multiple devices. (The comments found at the beginning of the groff file 'man8/mkfs.btrfs.8'.)
