Hi,
Running a 3.8 kernel I've been using bedup to deduplicate some files, for example two identical 500MB files A & B now share data chunks.
Running a 3.11 kernel, I wanted to clone some more files, but those previously deduplicated by bedup don't work, for example: `cp --reflink A C`:
open("A", O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC) = 4
fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0775, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
ioctl(4, BTRFS_IOC_CLONE, 0x3) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
But I can clone a duplicate of the file just fine: `cp A D; cp --reflink D E` copies A to D and then clones D to E.
So I guess the way bedup deduplicated A broke the btrfs structure in a way that forbids further cloning, but a newly generated file like D can still be cloned.
How could bedup break this, did it manipulate the structures directly in 3.8 without the syscall and corrupt something? How can I repair this? Defragmenting A had no effect.
(If you answer, please CC me directly, I'm not currently subscribed to the list)
Cheers,
