||
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 the crypto manager interface in the kernel for file and | ||
metadata checksums. You need to compile the kernel with: | ||
|
||
CONFIG_CRYPTO=y | ||
CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER=m | ||
CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRC32C=m | ||
|
||
cryptomanager and crc32c 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 crc32c | ||
modprobe cryptomgr | ||
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 | ||
