.TH BTRFS-IMAGE 8
.SH NAME
btrfs-image \- create/restore an image of the filesystem
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B btrfs-image
[options] \fIsource\fP \fItarget\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B btrfs-image
is used to create an image of a btrfs filesystem. All data will be zeroed,
but metadata and the like is preserved.
.I source
is the special file corresponding to the device containing a btrfs filesystem.
(e.g \fI/dev/sdXX\fP).
.I target
is the image file that btrfs-image creates. When used with \fB-r\fP option,
\fBbtrfs-image\fP restores the image file from source into target.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB\-r\fP
Restore metadump image. By default, this fixes super's chunk tree, by
using 1 stripe pointing to primary device, so that file system can be
restored by running tree log reply if possible. To restore without
changing number of stripes in chunk tree check \fB-o\fP option.
.TP
\fB\-c\fR \fIvalue\fP
compression level (0 ~ 9).
.TP
\fB\-t\fR \fIvalue\fP
number of threads (1 ~ 32) to be used to process the image dump or restore.
.TP
\fB\-o\fP
use the old restore method, this does not fixup the chunk tree so the restored
file system will not be able to be mounted.
.TP
\fB\-s\fP
Sanitize the file names when generating the image. One \fB-s\fP means just
generate random garbage, which means that the directory indexes won't match up
since the hashes won't match with the garbage filenames. Using \fB-ss\fP will
calculate a collision for the filename so that the hashes match, and if it
can't calculate a collision then it will just generate garbage. The collision
calculator is very time and CPU intensive so only use it if you are having
problems with your file system tree and need to have it mostly working.
.TP
\fB\-w\fP
Walk all the trees manually and copy any blocks that are referenced. Use this
option if your extent tree is corrupted to make sure that all of the metadata is
captured.
.SH AVAILABILITY
.B btrfs-image
is part of btrfs-progs. Btrfs is currently under heavy development,
and not suitable for any uses other than benchmarking and review.
Please refer to the btrfs wiki

.TH BTRFS-MAP-LOGICAL 8
.SH NAME
btrfs-map-logical \- map btrfs logical extent to physical extent
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B btrfs-map-logical [\fIoptions\fP] \fI<device>\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBbtrfs-map-logical\fP can be used to find out what the physical offsets are
on the mirrors, the result is dumped into stdout in default.
\fIOptions\fP
.IP "\fB-l|--logical \fI<logical_num>\fP" 5
Logical extent to map.
.IP "\fB-c|--copy \fI<copy>\fP" 5
Copy of the extent to read(usually 1 or 2).
.IP "\fB-o|--output \fI<filename>\fP" 5
Output file to hold the extent.
.IP "\fB-b|--bytes \fI<bytes>\fP" 5
Number of bytes to read.
.SH EXIT CODE
\fBbtrfs-map-logical\fP will return 0 if no error happened.
If any problems happened, 1 will be returned.

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B btrfs-show-super [\fIoptions\fP] \fI<dev>\fP [\fI<dev>...\fP]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBbtrfs-show-super\fP is used to print the information of superblock,
you can specify which mirror to print out. In default, every device's
first superblock will be printed out.
\fIOptions\fP
.IP "\fB-a\fP" 5
print all the superblock information, if this option is given, '\fB-i\fP' option will be ignored.
.IP "\fB-i \fI<super_mirror>\fP" 5
specify which mirror to print out. \fI<super_mirror>\fP is between 0 and 2. if several '\fB-i \fI<super_mirror>\fP'\fR are given, only the last one is valid.

.TH BTRFS-ZERO-LOG 8
.SH NAME
btrfs-zero-log \- clear out log tree.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B btrfs-zero-log \fI <dev>\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBbtrfs-zero-log\fP will remove the log tree if log tree is corrupt, which will allow you to mount the filesystem again. The common case where this
happens has been fixed a long time ago, so it is unlikely that you will see this particular problem.
.SH EXIT CODE
\fBbtrfs-zero-log\fR will return 0 exit code if no error happened.
Other exit code means some problems happened.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.B btrfs
is used to control the filesystem and the files and directories stored. It is
the tool to create or destroy a snapshot or a subvolume for the
filesystem, to defrag a file or a directory, flush the data to the disk,
to resize the filesystem, to scan the device.
It is possible to abbreviate the commands unless the commands are ambiguous.
For example: it is possible to run
.I btrfs sub snaps
instead of
.I btrfs subvolume snapshot.
But
.I btrfs file s
is not allowed, because
.I file s
may be interpreted both as
.I filesystem show
and as
.I filesystem sync.
In this case
.I btrfs
returns filesystem sync
If a command is terminated by
.I --help
, the detailed help is showed. If the passed command matches more commands,
detailed help of all the matched commands is showed. For example
.I btrfs dev --help
shows the help of all
.I device*
commands.
.SH COMMANDS
.TP
\fBsubvolume create\fP [-i \fI<qgroupid>\fP] [\fI<dest>\fP/]\fI<name>\fP
Create a subvolume \fI<name>\fR in \fI<dest>\fR.
If \fI<dest>\fR is not given subvolume \fI<name>\fR will be created in the
current directory.
.RS
\fIOptions\fP
.IP "\fB-i\fP \fI<qgroupid>\fR" 5
Add the newly created subvolume to a qgroup. This option can be given multiple
times.
.RE
.TP
\fBsubvolume delete\fR [\fIoptions\fP] \fI<subvolume>\fP [\fI<subvolume>...\fP]\fR
Delete the subvolume(s) from the filesystem. If \fI<subvolume>\fR is not a
subvolume, \fBbtrfs\fR returns an error but continues if there are more arguments
to process.
The corresponding directory is removed instantly but the data blocks are
removed later. The deletion does not involve full commit by default due to
performance reasons (as a consequence, the subvolume may appear again after a
crash). Use one of the --commit options to wait until the operation is safely
stored on the media.
.RS
\fIOptions\fP
.IP "\fB-c|--commit-after\fP" 5
wait for transaction commit at the end of the operation
.IP "\fB-C|--commit-each\fP" 5
wait for transaction commit after deleting each subvolume
.RE
.TP
\fBsubvolume list\fR [\fIoptions\fP] [-G [+|-]\fIvalue\fP] [-C [+|-]\fIvalue\fP] [--sort=rootid,gen,ogen,path] \fI<path>\fR
List the subvolumes present in the filesystem \fI<path>\fR. For every
subvolume the following information is shown by default.
ID \fI<ID>\fP top level \fI<ID>\fP path \fI<path>\fP
where path is the relative path of the subvolume to the \fItop level\fR
subvolume.
The subvolume's ID may be used by the \fBsubvolume set-default\fR command, or
at mount time via the \fIsubvolid=\fR option.
If \fI-p\fR is given, then \fIparent <ID>\fR is added to the output between ID
and top level. The parent's ID may be used at mount time via the
\fIsubvolrootid=\fR option.
.RS
\fIOptions\fP
.IP "\fB-p\fP" 5
print parent ID.
.IP "\fB-a\fP" 5
print all the subvolumes in the filesystem and distinguish between
absolute and relative path with respect to the given \fI<path>\fP.
.IP "\fB-c\fP" 5
print the ogeneration of the subvolume, aliases: ogen or origin generation.
.IP "\fB-g\fP" 5
print the generation of the subvolume.
.IP "\fB-o\fP" 5
print only subvolumes bellow specified <path>.
.IP "\fB-u\fP" 5
print the UUID of the subvolume.
.IP "\fB-q\fP" 5
print the parent uuid of subvolumes (and snapshots).
.IP "\fB-t\fP" 5
print the result as a table.
.IP "\fB-s\fP" 5
only snapshot subvolumes in the filesystem will be listed.
.IP "\fB-r\fP" 5
only readonly subvolumes in the filesystem will be listed.
.IP "\fB-G [+|-]\fIvalue\fP\fP" 5
list subvolumes in the filesystem that its generation is
>=, <= or = \fIvalue\fP. '+' means >= \fIvalue\fP, '-' means <= \fIvalue\fP, If there is
neither '+' nor '-', it means = \fIvalue\fP.
.IP "\fB-C [+|-]\fIvalue\fP" 5
list subvolumes in the filesystem that its ogeneration is
>=, <= or = \fIvalue\fP. The usage is the same to '-g' option.
.IP "\fB--sort=rootid,gen,ogen,path\fP" 5
list subvolumes in order by specified items.
you can add '+' or '-' in front of each items, '+' means ascending, '-'
means descending. The default is ascending.
for \fB--sort\fP you can combine some items together by ',', just like
\f--sort=+ogen,-gen,path,rootid\fR.
.RE
.TP
\fBsubvolume snapshot\fP [-r] \fI<source>\fP \fI<dest>\fP|[\fI<dest>\fP/]\fI<name>\fP
Create a writable/readonly snapshot of the subvolume \fI<source>\fR with the
name \fI<name>\fR in the \fI<dest>\fR directory.
If only \fI<dest>\fR is given, the subvolume will be named the basename of \fI<source>\fR.
If \fI<source>\fR is not a subvolume, \fBbtrfs\fR returns an error.
If \fI-r\fR is given, the snapshot will be readonly.
.TP
\fBsubvolume get-default\fR\fI <path>\fR
Get the default subvolume of the filesystem \fI<path>\fR. The output format
is similar to \fBsubvolume list\fR command.
.TP
\fBsubvolume set-default\fR\fI <id> <path>\fR
Set the subvolume of the filesystem \fI<path>\fR which is mounted as
\fIdefault\fR. The subvolume is identified by \fI<id>\fR, which
is returned by the \fBsubvolume list\fR command.
.TP
\fBsubvolume find-new\fR\fI <subvolume> <last_gen>\fR
List the recently modified files in a subvolume, after \fI<last_gen>\fR ID.
.TP
\fBsubvolume show\fR\fI <path>\fR
Show information of a given subvolume in the \fI<path>\fR.
.TP
\fBfilesystem df\fP\fI <path>\fR
Show space usage information for a mount point.
.TP
\fBfilesystem show\fR [\fI--mounted\fP|\fI--all-devices\fP|\fI<uuid>\fR]\fR
Show the btrfs filesystem with some additional info. If no option or \fIUUID\fP
is passed, \fBbtrfs\fR shows information of all the btrfs filesystem both mounted
and unmounted.
If \fB--mounted\fP is passed, it would probe btrfs kernel to list mounted btrfs filesystem(s);
If \fB--all-devices\fP is passed, all the devices under /dev are scanned;
otherwise the devices list is extracted from the /proc/partitions file.
.TP
\fBfilesystem sync\fR\fI <path> \fR
Force a sync for the filesystem identified by \fI<path>\fR.
.TP
\fBfilesystem defragment\fP [\fIoptions\fP] \fI<file>\fP|\fI<dir>\fP [\fI<file>\fP|\fI<dir>...\fP]\fP

files in \fIdir\fR will be defragmented recursively.
The start position and the number of bytes to defragment can be specified by
\fIstart\fR and \fIlen\fR. Any extent bigger than threshold will be

\fBfilesystem resize\fP [\fIdevid\fP:][+/\-]\fI<size>\fP[gkm]|[\fIdevid\fP:]\fImax <path>\fR
Resize a filesystem identified by \fI<path>\fR for the underlying device
\fIdevid\fR. The \fIdevid\fR can be found with \fBbtrfs filesystem show\fR and
defaults to 1 if not specified.
The \fI<size>\fR parameter specifies the new size of the filesystem.
If the prefix \fI+\fR or \fI\-\fR is present the size is increased or decreased
by the quantity \fI<size>\fR.
If no units are specified, the unit of the \fI<size>\fR parameter defaults to
bytes. Optionally, the size parameter may be suffixed by one of the following
units designators: 'K', 'M', or 'G', kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes,
respectively.
If 'max' is passed, the filesystem will occupy all available space on the
device \fIdevid\fR.
The \fBresize\fR command \fBdoes not\fR manipulate the size of underlying
partition. If you wish to enlarge/reduce a filesystem, you must make sure you
can expand the partition before enlarging the filesystem and shrink the
partition after reducing the size of the filesystem. This can done using

it with the new desired size. When recreating the partition make sure to use

.SH DESCRIPTION
.B mkfs.btrfs
is used to create a btrfs filesystem (usually in a disk partition, or an array
of disk partitions).
.I device
is the special file corresponding to the device (e.g \fI/dev/sdXX\fP ).
If multiple \fI devices \fP are specified, btrfs is created
spanning across the specified \fI devices\fP.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB\-A\fR, \fB\-\-alloc\-start \fIoffset\fR
Specify the offset from the start of the device to start the btrfs filesystem. The default value is zero, or the start of the device.
.TP
\fB\-b\fR, \fB\-\-byte\-count \fIsize\fR
Specify the size of the resultant filesystem. If this option is not used,
mkfs.btrfs uses all the available storage for the filesystem.
.TP
\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-data \fItype\fR
Specify how the data must be spanned across the devices specified. Valid
values are raid0, raid1, raid5, raid6, raid10 or single.
.TP
\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-force\fR
Force overwrite when an existing filesystem is detected on the device.
By default, mkfs.btrfs will not write to the device if it suspects that
there is a filesystem or partition table on the device already.
.TP
\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-nodesize \fIsize\fR
\fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-leafsize \fIsize\fR
Specify the nodesize, the tree block size in which btrfs stores
data. The default value is 16KB (16384) or the page size, whichever is
bigger. Must be a multiple of the sectorsize, but not larger than
65536. Leafsize always equals nodesize and the options are aliases.
.TP
\fB\-L\fR, \fB\-\-label \fIname\fR
Specify a label for the filesystem.
.TP
\fB\-m\fR, \fB\-\-metadata \fIprofile\fR
Specify how metadata must be spanned across the devices specified. Valid
values are raid0, raid1, raid5, raid6, raid10, single or dup. Single device
will have dup set by default except in the case of SSDs which will default to
single. This is because SSDs can remap blocks internally so duplicate blocks
could end up in the same erase block which negates the benefits of doing
metadata duplication.
.TP
\fB\-M\fR, \fB\-\-mixed\fR
Mix data and metadata chunks together for more efficient space
utilization. This feature incurs a performance penalty in
larger filesystems. It is recommended for use with filesystems
of 1 GiB or smaller.
.TP
\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-sectorsize \fIsize\fR
Specify the sectorsize, the minimum data block allocation unit. The default
value is the page size. If the sectorsize differs from the page size, the
created filesystem may not be mountable by current kernel. Therefore it is not
recommended to use this option unless you are going to mount it on a system
with the appropriate page size.
.TP
\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-rootdir \fIrootdir\fR
Specify a directory to copy into the newly created fs.
.TP
\fB\-K\fR, \fB\-\-nodiscard \fR
Do not perform whole device TRIM operation by default.
.TP
\fB\-O\fR, \fB\-\-features \fIfeature1,feature2,...\fR
A list of filesystem features turned on at mkfs time. Not all features are
supported by old kernels.
To see all run
\fBmkfs.btrfs -O list-all\fR
.TP
\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
Print the \fBmkfs.btrfs\fP version and exit.
.SH UNIT
As default the unit is the byte, however it is possible to append a suffix
to the arguments like \fBk\fP for KBytes, \fBm\fP for MBytes...
