Using noCow with snapshots ?

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

 



Hi,

In the quest for BTRFS and performance, and having received the advice to 
"chattr +C" my akonadi DB directory to make it noCow, I would like to be sure 
about what will happen when I take a snapshot of the concerned BTRFS 
subvolume.

1/ Being noCow, will the database be modified in the snapshot as well, 
efectively defeating the snapshot ?

2/ Being snapshotted, will the database be COWed even though it's supposed to 
be noCow ?

3/ Are both options mutually incompatible in some more osbcure ways ?

I'd like to know where I'm going with this ;-)

TIA and kind regards.
