How many subvols/snapshots are possible? (limits?)

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

 



Dear Devs,

This is more a use case question of what is a good idea to do...


Can btrfs support snapshots of the filesystem at very regular intervals,
say minute by minute or even second by second?

Or are there limits that will be hit with metadata overheads or
links/reference limits or CPU overheads if 'too many' snapshots/subvols
are made?

If snapshots were to be taken once a minute and retained, what breaks first?


What are 'reasonable' (maximum) numbers for frequency and number of held
versions?


Thanks,
Martin
