QGROUP
|
||||
------
|
||||
Quota group or qgroup in btrfs has its hierarchy like subvolume.
|
||||
One subvolume/snapshot can reach its quota limits if it consumes all the quota
|
||||
assigned to it or any of the parent qgroup(s).
|
||||
Quota groups or qgroup in btrfs make a tree hierarchy, the leaf qgroups are
|
||||
attached to subvolumes. The size limits are set per qgroup and apply when any
|
||||
limit is reached in tree that contains a given subvolume.
|
||||
|
||||
Also for snapshot, it consumes no quota initially since all its data
|
||||
shares with its parent, so only modification in snapshot consumes quota.
|
||||
The limit sare separated between shared and exclusive and reflect the extent
|
||||
ownership. For example a fresh snapshot shares almost all the blocks with the
|
||||
original subvolume, new writes to either subvolume will raise towards the
|
||||
exclusive limit.
|
||||
|
||||
Every subvolume/snapshot will have its own qgroup with id '0/<subvolume id>'
|
||||
upon creating, but can be later destroyed by *btrfs qgroup destroy* command.
|
||||
The qgroup identifiers conform to 'level/id' where level 0 is reserved to the
|
||||
qgroups associated with subvolumes. Such qgroups are created automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
The qgroup hierarchy is built by commands *create* and *assign*.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: If the qgroup of a subvolume is destroyed, quota about the subvolume
|
||||
will not be functional until qgroup '0/<subvolume id>' is created again.
