For a really quick start you can simply create and mount the filesystem. Make
|
|
|
|
|
sure that the block device you'd like to use is suitable so you don't overwrite existing data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdx
|
|
|
|
|
# mount /dev/sdx /mnt/test
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The default options should be acceptable for most users and sometimes can be
|
|
|
|
|
changed later. The example above is for a single device filesystem, creating a
|
|
|
|
|
*single* profile for data (no redundant copies of the blocks), and *DUP*
|
|
|
|
|
for metadata (each block is duplicated).
