Btrfs

@btrfs

Well said. Linux is a treasure for mankind. Mars is not the end of its journey with human but only a new beginning. Looking forward to where it can take us to in the next 30 years #30YearsOfLinux #LinusTorvalds

Thirty years ago today, Linus Torvalds announced his free operating system to the world. Read the recent blog from @robfromthecity! #30YearsofLinux #linux #opensource #LinusTorvalds bit.ly/3DhsYTZ



OpenZFS on Linux is great (agree that it's more mature and business grade solution), however, relying on DKMesS (non Ubuntu) to rebuild modules after each kernel upgrade isn't that pleasant. The best tool is the one that does what you need at the best cost, choose wisely ;-)


The default partitioning scheme on @fedora 33 Workstation (including all desktop spins) has been changed to @btrfs bread and butter ;-) Even /boot can now be on a btrfs volume.


Good points raised by @2_5adm1ns Ep 12 @OpenZFS @btrfs with scheduled snapshots provide a rollback mechanism to painlessly deal with ransomware. Obviously snapshot's "go back in time" ability has a lot more to offer, take snapshots folks ;-)


The "Managing the @btrfs File System" chapter in Oracle Linux 8 Docs is NOT bad, in fact a quite good quickstart guide for noobs ;-) docs.oracle.com/en/operating-s…


Butter FS - Chris Mason & Avi Miller pronounced that way a lot when the former worked for Oracle (latter still does) in the early days, later on widely adopted in talks and popular podcast shows from @LinuxUnplugged @LinuxActionNews @SelfHostedShow @DestLinuxPod @2_5adm1ns etc.

I always used B T R F S. But I saw videos where they are using butter F S. I believe both of them are correct as per wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs



Very good points raised in the @SelfHostedShow Ep 25 by Jon from @UnraidOfficial @btrfs is perfect for self-hosted home consumer grade storage solutions with mixed spec HDDs using old PCs, as long as users know what to use & when to avoid its raid{5,6} Read the Btrfs Wiki ;-)


Be aware of Btrfs raid5/6 serious data-loss bugs btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID… Consider using ZFS on Linux before the bugs are fixed.


New tree-based space cached added to Btrfs by Facebook to improve perf during commits on large FS (30TB+), mount with space_cache=v2 ;-D


#Btrfs inband / online deduplication - dedup done in the write path (processes write data) is NOT supported yet. It'll eat RAM when ready;-D


UEK R4 Btrfs features, check release notes goo.gl/tjsqMR


Oracle UEK R4 (mainline 4.1.12 based) added Btrfs RAID 5, 6 support, snapshot-aware defrag, offline deduplication by dedup or duperemove 1/2


Linux 4.0 adds code to Btrfs inode struct to hold the file creation time.


Oracle Linux 7.1 offers Production support for Btrfs with its UEK Release 3 (kernel-uek-3.8.13-55.1.5.el7uek.x86_64) goo.gl/VeLLkS


Linux 3.19 added support for #Btrfs scrubbing and fast device replacement in RAID 5 and 6.


With SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 #Btrfs is the default file system for / while xfs is the default for all other use cases. Enjoy snapper.io ;-D


1st @CoreOS stable 367.1.0 has been released. Core: Linux 3.15 + systemd 212 + #Btrfs v3.14 + Docker 1.0.1. LXC + Btrfs is awesome!


New #Btrfs changes in Linux 3.14 1. inode properties 2. new mount options 3. Publish internal info under /sys/fs/btrfs some can be changed
