Text of the page (random words):
btrfs wiki main page from btrfs wiki jump to navigation search obsolete content this wiki has been archived and the content is no longer updated btrfs is a modern copy on write cow filesystem for linux aimed at implementing advanced features while also focusing on fault tolerance repair and easy administration its main features and benefits are snapshots which do not make the full copy of files raid support for software based raid 0 raid 1 raid 10 self healing checksums for data and metadata automatic detection of silent data corruptions development of btrfs started in 2007 since that time it s been part of the linux kernel and is under active development jointly developed by multiple companies https btrfs readthedocs io en latest contributors html btrfs is licensed under the gpl and open for contribution from anyone list of companies using btrfs in production development and issue reporting for feature status please refer to the status page the btrfs code base is stable however new features are still under development every effort is made to ensure that it remains stable and fast at each and every commit this rapid pace of development means that the filesystem improves noticeably with every new linux release so it s highly recommended that users run the most modern kernel possible for benchmarks it s recommended to test the latest stable linux version and not any older as well as the latest linux development versions also it s recommended to test the various mount options such as different compression options if you find any behavior you suspect to be caused by a bug performance issues or have any questions about using btrfs please email the btrfs mailing list no subscription required please report bugs on bugzilla features linux has a wealth of filesystems from which to choose but we are facing a number of challenges with scaling to the large storage subsystems that are becoming common in today s data centers filesystems need to scale in their ability to address and manage large storage and also in their ability to detect repair and tolerate errors in the data stored on disk major features currently implemented extent based file storage 2 64 byte 16 eib maximum file size practical limit is 8 eib due to linux vfs space efficient packing of small files space efficient indexed directories dynamic inode allocation writable snapshots read only snapshots subvolumes separate internal filesystem roots checksums on data and metadata crc32c xxhash sha256 blake2b compression zlib lzo zstd heuristics integrated multiple device support file striping file mirroring file striping mirroring single and dual parity implementations experimental not production ready ssd flash storage awareness trim discard for reporting free blocks for reuse optimizations e g avoiding unnecessary seek optimizations sending writes in clusters even if they are from unrelated files this results in larger write operations and faster write throughput background scrub process for finding and repairing errors of files with redundant copies online filesystem defragmentation offline filesystem check in place conversion of existing ext2 3 4 and reiserfs file systems seeding devices create a readonly filesystem that acts as a template to seed other btrfs filesystems the original filesystem and devices are included as a readonly starting point for the new filesystem using copy on write all modifications are stored on different devices the original is unchanged subvolume aware quota support send receive of subvolume changes efficient incremental filesystem mirroring and backup batch or out of band deduplication happens after writes not during swapfile support tree checker post read and pre write metadata verification zoned mode
