Install Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
Btrfs uses libcrc32c in the kernel for file and metadata checksums. You need
|
||||
to compile the kernel with:
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG_LIBCRC32C=m
|
||||
|
||||
libcrc32c can be static as well. Once your kernel is setup, typing make in the
|
||||
btrfs module sources will build against the running kernel. When the build is
|
||||
complete:
|
||||
|
||||
modprobe libcrc32c
|
||||
insmod btrfs.ko
|
||||
Installation instructions
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
The Btrfs utility programs require the following libraries/tools to build:
|
||||
|
||||
- libuuid (This can be found in the e2fsprogs sources, and is usually available
|
||||
as libuuid or e2fsprogs-devel from various distros).
|
||||
- libattr (Extended attribute library - Development files)
|
||||
- libblkid (Block device id library - Development files)
|
||||
- liblzo2 (LZO data compression library - Development files)
|
||||
- libacl (Access control list library - Development files)
|
||||
- e2fslibs (ext2/ext3/ext4 file system libraries - Development files)
|
||||
- asciidoc (Text document format tool - For documentation)
|
||||
- libuuid - provided by util-linux, e2fsprogs/e2fslibs or libuuid
|
||||
- libblkid - block device id library
|
||||
- liblzo2 - LZO data compression library
|
||||
- zlib - ZLIB data compression library
|
||||
|
||||
Building the utilities is just make ; make install. The programs go
|
||||
into /usr/local/bin. The mains commands available are:
|
||||
For the btrfs-convert utility:
|
||||
|
||||
mkfs.btrfs: create a filesystem
|
||||
- e2fsprogs - ext2/ext3/ext4 file system libraries, or called e2fslibs
|
||||
|
||||
btrfs: control program to create snapshots and subvolumes:
|
||||
# mount a btrfs filesystem
|
||||
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
|
||||
Generating documentation:
|
||||
|
||||
# create a subvolume
|
||||
btrfs subvolume create /mnt/new_subvol_name
|
||||
- asciidoc - text document format tool
|
||||
- xmlto - text document format tool
|
||||
|
||||
# snapshot of a subvolume
|
||||
btrfs subvolume snapshot /mnt/default /mnt/snapshot_of_default
|
||||
btrfs subvolume snapshot /mnt/snapshot_of_default \
|
||||
/mnt/snapshot_of_a_snapshot
|
||||
XATTR and ACL libraries should be provided by the standard C library or by
|
||||
|
||||
# list of the subvolumes
|
||||
ls /mnt
|
||||
default snapshot_of_a_snapshot snapshot_of_new_subvol
|
||||
new_subvol_name snapshot_of_default
|
||||
- libattr - extended attribute library
|
||||
- libacl - access control list library
|
||||
|
||||
# removal of a subvolume or a snapshot
|
||||
btrfs subvolume delete /mn/snapshot_of_a_snapshot
|
||||
Please note that the package names may differ according to the distribution.
|
||||
See https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfs_source_repositories#Dependencies .
|
||||
|
||||
# look a the btrfs man page for further information
|
||||
man btrfs
|
||||
To build from git sources you need to generate the confiture script using the
|
||||
autools:
|
||||
|
||||
btrfsck: do a limited check of the FS extent trees.</li>
|
||||
$ ./autogen.sh
|
||||
|
||||
btrfs-debug-tree: print all of the FS metadata in text form. Example:
|
||||
To build from the released tarballs:
|
||||
|
||||
btrfs-debug-tree /dev/sda2 >& big_output_file
|
||||
$ ./configure
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
|
||||
You may disable building some parts like documentation, btrfs-convert or
|
||||
backtrace support. See ./configure --help for more.
|
||||
|
||||
Specific CFLAGS or LDFLAGS should be set like
|
||||
|
||||
$ CFLAGS=... LDFLAGS=... ./configure --prefix=/usr
|
||||
|
||||
and not as arguments to make.
