BTRFS
Aquest article no pretén substituir al manual oficial, sols és, de moment, una recopilació de apunts a partir de l'ús del sistema de fitxers.
BTRFS es compara sovint amb ZFS, ja que existeixen per les mateixes raons. La primera diferència és la forma en que han arribat a Linux i els problemes de llicències que pot donar. ZFS és més madur i,en la majoria de casos més robust. BTRFS és més flexible en algunes coses.
Avantatges experimentats per mí de BTRFS sobre ZFS:
- Més fàcil de crear i de muntar els volums creats.
- Si afegeixes un nou disc a un RAID1, per exemple, en ZFS sols el sincronitza en els nous arxius. En BTRFS es sincronitza si vols.
- BTRFS funciona dins de contenedors LXD, per tant, si fem nesting podem aprofitar els avantatges dins dels subcontenidors.
Cas pràctic
En un servidor configurat com a RAID 10 amb 4 discs durs, trobem un misstage a la pantalla que diu:
BTRFS error (device sda1): bdev /dev/sdf1 errs: wr 51956436, rd 28739183, flush 124601, corrupt 0, gen 0
Això ens diu que hi ha algun problema en el sistema d'arxius. Si fem algunes comprovacions:
sudo btrfs scrub start /media/btrfs/ scrub started on /media/btrfs/, fsid bb600f14-9fbb-4f27-af33-95c6ac1975fe (pid=16546)
sudo btrfs scrub status /media/btrfs/ scrub status for bb600f14-9fbb-4f27-af33-95c6ac1975fe scrub started at Mon Nov 18 13:54:43 2019, running for 00:15:05 total bytes scrubbed: 84.04GiB with 5340488 errors error details: read=5340485 super=3 corrected errors: 0, uncorrectable errors: 5340485, unverified errors: 0
Efectivament, es troben molts errors que no pot solucionar.
Si fem un smartctl al disc que sembla fallar:
sudo smartctl /dev/sdf -a

Diu que no està molt sà, però que funciona. Per tant, cal intentar reparar el sistema d'arxius:
btrfs rescue zero-log /dev/sdf1 # Si és un error de transaccions tallades per un tall elèctric, per exemple. btrfs rescue super-recover # Si no està el superblock, el recupera de una de les còpies que té el disc. btrfs rescue chunk-recover # En cas de fallar les metadates i tindre fitxers desconeguts. És lent i perillós. btrfs check --repair /dev/sdXY # Per reparar el sistema d'arxius.
