SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
**btrfstune** [options] <device> [<device>...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
:command:`btrfstune` can be used to enable, disable, or set various filesystem
|
|
parameters. The filesystem must be unmounted.
|
|
|
|
The common use case is to enable features that were not enabled at mkfs time.
|
|
Please make sure that you have kernel support for the features. You can find a
|
|
complete list of features and kernel version of their introduction at
|
|
:doc:`Feature by version<Feature-by-version>` page. Also, the manual page
|
|
:doc:`mkfs.btrfs` contains more details about the features.
|
|
|
|
Some of the features could be also enabled on a mounted filesystem by other
|
|
means. Please refer to the *FILESYSTEM FEATURES* in :doc:`btrfs-man5`.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
--convert-to-block-group-tree
|
|
(since kernel 6.1)
|
|
|
|
Convert portions of extent tree that tracks block groups to a separate
|
|
block group tree. This greatly reduces mount time. Can be also enabled
|
|
at mkfs time.
|
|
|
|
--convert-from-block-group-tree
|
|
(since kernel 6.1)
|
|
|
|
Convert block groups tracked in standalone block group tree back to
|
|
extent tree and remove *block-group-tree* feature bit from the filesystem.
|
|
|
|
--convert-to-free-space-tree
|
|
(since kernel 4.5)
|
|
|
|
Convert to free-space-tree feature (v2 of space cache).
|
|
|
|
-f
|
|
Allow dangerous changes, e.g. clear the seeding flag or change fsid.
|
|
Make sure that you are aware of the dangers.
|
|
|
|
-m
|
|
(since kernel: 5.0)
|
|
|
|
change fsid stored as *metadata_uuid* to a randomly generated UUID,
|
|
see also *-U*
|
|
|
|
.. _btrfstune-feature-metadata-uuid:
|
|
|
|
-M <UUID>
|
|
(since kernel: 5.0)
|
|
|
|
change fsid stored as *metadata_uuid* to a given UUID, see also *-U*
|
|
|
|
The metadata_uuid is stored only in the superblock and is a backward
|
|
incompatible change. The fsid in metadata blocks remains unchanged and
|
|
is not overwritten, thus the whole operation is significantly faster
|
|
than *-U*.
|
|
|
|
The new metadata_uuid can be used for mount by UUID and is also used to
|
|
identify devices of a multi-device filesystem.
|
|
|
|
-n
|
|
(since kernel: 3.14)
|
|
|
|
Enable no-holes feature (more efficient representation of file holes),
|
|
enabled by mkfs feature *no-holes*.
|
|
|
|
-r
|
|
(since kernel: 3.7)
|
|
|
|
Enable extended inode refs (hardlink limit per file in a directory is
|
|
65536), enabled by mkfs feature *extref*.
|
|
|
|
-S <0|1>
|
|
Enable seeding on a given device. Value 1 will enable seeding, 0 will
|
|
disable it. A seeding filesystem is forced to be mounted read-only. A
|
|
new device can be added to the filesystem and will capture all writes
|
|
keeping the seeding device intact. See also section
|
|
:ref:`SEEDING DEVICE<man-btrfs5-seeding-device>`
|
|
in :doc:`btrfs-man5`.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
Clearing the seeding flag on a device may be dangerous. If a
|
|
previously-seeding device is changed, all filesystems that used
|
|
that device will become unmountable. Setting the seeding flag
|
|
back will not fix that.
|
|
|
|
A valid usecase is *seeding device as a base image*. Clear the
|
|
seeding flag, update the filesystem and make it seeding again,
|
|
provided that it's OK to throw away all filesystems built on
|
|
top of the previous base.
|
|
|
|
-u
|
|
Change fsid to a randomly generated UUID or continue previous fsid
|
|
change operation in case it was interrupted.
|
|
|
|
-U <UUID>
|
|
Change fsid to *UUID* in all metadata blocks.
|
|
|
|
The *UUID* should be a 36 bytes string in :manref:`printf(3)` format
|
|
``%08x-%04x-%04x-%04x-%012x``.
|
|
If there is a previous unfinished fsid change, it will continue only if the
|
|
*UUID* matches the unfinished one or if you use the option *-u*.
|
|
|
|
All metadata blocks are rewritten, this may take some time, but the final
|
|
filesystem compatibility is unaffected, unlike *-M*.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
Cancelling or interrupting a UUID change operation will make
|
|
the filesystem temporarily unmountable. To fix it, rerun
|
|
:command:`btrfstune -u` and let it complete.
|
|
|
|
-x
|
|
(since kernel: 3.10)
|
|
|
|
Enable skinny metadata extent refs (more efficient representation of
|
|
extents), enabled by mkfs feature *skinny-metadata*.
|
|
|
|
All newly created extents will use the new representation. To
|
|
completely switch the entire filesystem, run a full balance of the
|
|
metadata. Please refer to :doc:`btrfs-balance`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
EXIT STATUS
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
**btrfstune** returns 0 if no error happened, 1 otherwise.
|
|
|
|
COMPATIBILITY NOTE
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
This deprecated tool exists for historical reasons but is still in use today.
|
|
Its functionality will be merged to the main tool, at which time **btrfstune**
|
|
will be declared obsolete and scheduled for removal.
