btrfs: extended inode refs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,


I am trying to switch my BackupPC filesystem to btrfs, so I upgraded to
kernel 3.7.5 as I understand it has support for more hard links.
However I still get the 'too many hard links error'.

I looked at Mark Fasheh's patch, and from my rudimentary udnerstanding
it seems like I need to set BTRFS_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_EXTENDED_IREF in the
superblock.

Is there any way to edit the superblock of an existing filesystem to
enable extended inode refs so that more hard links can be used?

I even went as far as backing up the filesystem, re-formatting using the
mkfs in the latest git version of btrfs-progs, and restoring but it
still doesnt work - too many hard links.  Aparently the mkfs patch wasnt
even applied in git yet?

$ grep -ir BTRFS_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_EXTENDED_IREF .
$ 

Does this mean I shouldnt be using the feature just yet? :P

Thanks,

Norbert
