BTRFS, SSD and single metadata

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

 



Hi,

I created a BTRFS filesytem over LVM over LUKS encryption on an SSD [yes, I 
know...], and I noticed that the FS got created with metadata in "DUP" mode, 
contrary to what "man mkfs.btrfs" says for SSDs -> it would be supposed to be 
"SINGLE"...

Well I don't know if my system didn't identify the SSD because of the LVM+LUKS 
stack (however it mounts well by itself with the "ssd" flag and accepts the 
"discard" option [yes, I know...]), or if the manpage is obsolete or if this 
feature just doesn't work...?

The SSD being a Micron RealSSD C400

For both SSD preservation and data integrity, would it be advisable to change 
metadata to "SINGLE" using a rebalance, or if I'd better just leave things the 
way they are...?

TIA for any insight.
