No, I don't have any snapshots or subvolumes. Only that single file. The file has both checksums and datacow on it. I will do "chattr +C" on the parent dir and re-create the file to make sure all files are marked as "nodatacow". Should I also turn off checksums with the mount-flags if this filesystem only contain big VM-files? Or is it not needed if I put +C on the parent dir?
Please God don't turn off of checksums. Checksums are tracked in metadata anyway, they won't show up in the data accounting. Our csums are 8 bytes per block, so basic math says you are going to max out at 604 megabytes for that big of a file.
Please people try to only take advice from people who know what they are talking about. So unless it's from somebody who has commits in btrfs/btrfs-progs take their feedback with a grain of salt. Thanks,
