metadata_ratio mount option?

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

 



Hi,

According to man btrfs [1], I assume that metadata_ratio=1 mount option should
force allocation of one metadata chunk after every allocated data chunk. However,
when I set this option and start filling btrfs with "dd if=/dev/zero of=dummyfile.dat",
only data chunks are allocated but no metadata ones. So, how does the metadata_ratio
option really work?

Note that I'm trying to use this option as a workaround of the bug reported here: 

https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg75104.html

i.e. I want to manually preallocate metadata chunks to avoid nightly ENOSPC errors.

Best regards.

Martin
