Btrfs puts snapshots and subvolumes into the root directory of the FS. This
|
|
directory can only be changed by btrfsctl right now, and normal filesystem
|
|
operations do not work on it. The default subvolume is called 'default',
|
|
and you can create files and directories in mount_point/default
|
|
|
|
Btrfs uses libcrc32c in the kernel for file and metadata checksums. You need
|
|
to compile the kernel with:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_LIBCRC32C=m
|
|
|
|
libcrc32c can be static as well. Once your kernel is setup, typing make in the
|
|
btrfs module sources will build against the running kernel. When the build is
|
|
complete:
|
|
|
|
modprobe libcrc32c
|
|
insmod btrfs.ko
|
|
|
|
The Btrfs utility programs require libuuid to build. This can be found
|
|
in the e2fsprogs sources, and is usually available as libuuid or
|
|
e2fsprogs-devel from various distros.
|
|
|
|
Building the utilities is just make ; make install. The programs go
|
|
into /usr/local/bin. The commands available are:
|
|
|
|
mkfs.btrfs: create a filesystem
|
|
|
|
btrfsctl: control program to create snapshots and subvolumes:
|
|
|
|
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
|
|
btrfsctl -s new_subvol_name /mnt
|
|
btrfsctl -s snapshot_of_default /mnt/default
|
|
btrfsctl -s snapshot_of_new_subvol /mnt/new_subvol_name
|
|
btrfsctl -s snapshot_of_a_snapshot /mnt/snapshot_of_new_subvol
|
|
ls /mnt
|
|
default snapshot_of_a_snapshot snapshot_of_new_subvol
|
|
new_subvol_name snapshot_of_default
|
|
|
|
Snapshots and subvolumes cannot be deleted right now, but you can
|
|
rm -rf all the files and directories inside them.
|
|
|
|
btrfsck: do a limited check of the FS extent trees.</li>
|
|
|
|
debug-tree: print all of the FS metadata in text form. Example:
|
|
|
|
debug-tree /dev/sda2 >& big_output_file
|
|
