Btrfs - это современная CoW файловая система
Современная Copy on Write файловая система для Linux, нацеленная на реализацию расширенных возможностей, а также на отказоустойчивость, ремонт и простое администрирование. Btrfs - это не только файловая система, но и менеджер томов, программный рейд, инструмент резервного копирования, а также flash-friendly.
Поскольку Btrfs отличается от других - некоторые вещи кажутся незнакомыми и странными. Если вы хотите узнать подробности и самые новые вещи, то btrfs.wiki.kernel.org или btrfs.readthedocs.io. Разработка Btrfs началась в 2007 году. С тех пор Btrfs является частью ядра Linux и находится в стадии активной разработки. Кодовая база и файловая система Btrfs являются стабильными. Однако новые функции все еще находятся в стадии разработки. Основными возможностями и преимуществами являются:
- Снэпшоты, которые не делают полную копию файлов.
- Менеджер томов объединяет разделы, разбивает на подтома
- RAID - поддержка программных RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10.
- Автовосстановление - контрольные суммы для данных и метаданных, автоматическое обнаружение тихих повреждений данных
(смотри btrfs@kernel.org, btrfs.readthedocs.io, Btrfs@ARC-wiki, Btrfs@wikipedia)
Знакомы с btrfs-сленгом?
Поскольку Btrfs отличается от других, вы найдете некоторые слова, имеющие особое значение при использании btrfs. Это может стать источником путаницы.
It is possible to make a writeable(rw) subvolume out of a ro-snapshot. This is the way roll back does work.

Управление томами ⇒
Том - это пул необработанной памяти. Состоит из одного или нескольких устройств. Размер тома будет равен сумме всех включенных в него устройств, если только вы не используете RAID.
Если вы используете более одного устройства - прочтите также раздел о RAID. Вы можете добавлять/удалять устройства в любое время, чтобы увеличить/уменьшить размер тома. При добавлении/удалении устройств можно также перемещать том с одного устройства на другое (без изменения UUID).
Обычно вы не монтируете сам том Btrfs, а монтируете подтома. Бывают случаи, когда целесообразно монтировать сам корневой том Btrfs. Тогда вы сможете изменить компоновку тома. Все (доступные для записи) подтома внутри тома можно перемещать внутри него с помощью mv. Перемещение подтомов не затронет данные, но мгновенно изменит компоновку тома.
Если не указано иное, дополнительные устройства обрабатываются как J ust a B unch o f D isks (JBOD).
Extend a volume
This is very easy because btrfs incorporates a volume manager. You only have to look for a free device. You may use a partition like /dev/sdz4 or you may use a raw device like /dev/sdz. Then add this device to your existing volume with btrfs device add. You may need to do a balance afterwards to redistribute some chunks.
Move a volume (to another disk)
There are a lot of ways you can move a "normal" filesystem from one disk to another. But there are dangers with moving btrfs volumes that do not exist with other filesystems! Don´t ever move a btrfs volume with a tool that does not say it is 100% btrfs-proof. When at any time there are 2 partitions in one computer that have the same filesystem UUID, one ore both filesystems may be destroyed. Under the topic tips you will find an easy way to do move a volume without any danger
Subvolume ⇒
A subvolume is an independent mountable POSIX file-tree and not a block device. It is the part of a volume that will be mounted writeable into your Linux system. If you dont´t care about snapshots, and you don´t care about backups, it would be possible to use only one subvolume for everything. But then you would not be able to use the powers of Btrfs. Lets assume you do care.
All subvolumes share the space of the Btrfs volume. You may create subvolumes at will. (You may think of subvolumes as sort of "dynamic partitions" inside a Btrfs volume)
When making snapshots (or send/receive) every subvolume will be handled separately. For example when you have 2 subvolumes(@, @home), and make a snapshot of one of them(@), this snapshot will contain every bit of data of all files in this subvolume(@), but none of the data from the other subvolume(@home). So if you make a few subvolumes, you are able to follow different strategies for snapshots of them. And you can restore each of them separately.
По соглашению имена подтомов начинаются с @ (@home, @snapshots ...).
Subvolume @
This is the subvolume where your complete manjaro system will reside. It is mounted at "/" in your filesystem. You may take snapshots of this subvolume (or backups with send/receive) to secure a running manjaro system. When something bad happens, you are able to rollback to one of the snapshots, or to restore one of the backups of this subvolume without loosing your data at /home.
In order to make a rollback possible, this has to contain all and every data that is needed for your manjaro to work properly! This includes:
- config of your bootloader (/boot/brub/grub.cfg)
- initramdisk (/boot/initramfs-5.10-x86_64.img)
- kernel (/boot/vmlinuz-5.10-x86_64)
- kernel-modules (/usr/lib/modules/5.10.59-1-MANJARO/*)
- programs (/usr/bin/*)
- configs (/etc/*)
- libraries (/usr/lib/*)
- your root account (/root/*)
- rest of system files (/usr/*)
Subvolume @home
This is the subvolume where all user data ist stored. When you rollback your "@", this will not change at all. You may take snapshots of /home at a different rate and for different reasons. While snapshots of "@" are good for rollback, snapshots of @home are good for undeleting accidentally by users deleted (or overwritten) files.
Subvolume @snapshots, @home.snapshots
It is wise to "store" snapshots NOT inside the subvolume they where taken from. So this may be the right place to store your snapshots of @ or @home.
Subvolume @...
Sometimes it is desired to have other special snapshot strategies (or no snapshots at all) for some parts of the filesystem. If you need this, make another subvolume.
To have access to the root(/) of your volume, you need to mount this separately. (Please do not confuse this with "/" of the file system)
Now you are able to create a new subvolume in a flat layout.
This will be shown by
This subvolume tests is empty. And it is not mounted by default. So if you want to use it, you have to mount it by fstab or other means. Now lets delete it again.
Снэпшот
A snapshot looks nearly the same as a subvolume. But snapshots really are "read-only photographs of a subvolume". While the subvolume changes with time. The snapshot is frozen in the state of the subvolume at the time you made it. A snapshot is read-only. Therefore it is guaranteed not to change. In a snapshot you will find all files of the subvolume frozen in time. A snapshot is not a substitute for a backup!
Snapshots (if regularly made) may be used for:
- Comparing config files from different "times"
- Merging config files
- Recovering accidentally deleted/overwritten files
- Rollback your system
- Anchor for a backup with send/receive
- Basis for a seed
- What do you use snapshots for ?
Making and deleting snapshots is best done automatically:
- snapper snapper@wiki.archlinux snapper@github snapper.io
- timeshift timeshift@wiki.archlinux timeshift@github
Создание снимков
Создание моментального снимка - это очень быстро и почти бесценно. После создания снимка все последующие записи будут проходить как в обычном CoW. Но ни одно из мест, занятых файлами в снимке, не будет использовано повторно. По мере записи все новых и новых файлов файловая система будет расти, поскольку она не сможет повторно использовать файлы в моментальном снимке. Новый снимок будет дополнительно замораживать все созданные или измененные файлы с момента последнего снимка и так далее. Если вы не освободите (удалите) ни один снимок, то в конечном итоге у вас "скоро закончится место" (диск заполнен).
Высвобождение моментальных снимков
При удалении снимка не удаляются файлы, фактически используемые другими снимками или подтомом, из которого они были взяты. Чтобы освободить место, Btrfs проверяет каждый файл в снапшоте, используется ли он или нет. Если нет, то место для этого файла/версии станет свободным. (Это значительно упрощено) Поэтому удаление моментальных снимков является дорогостоящим. И Btrfs будет делать эту работу в фоновом режиме. Вы можете заметить это, потому что при удалении снимка не будет немедленного выигрыша в свободном пространстве. Через некоторое время вы заметите, что часть пространства освободилось.
Don´t forget to remove snapshots, or you will get in "out of space" -trouble soon. Btrfs needs some free space to manage its work. If your volume is more then 80% full you have to think(fast) what to do.
- ++++ Add some partition/device to the volume
- +++ Remove some snapshots you don't need
- + Delete some files (this does only help if they are not part of any snapshot)
Rollback to a snapshot
If you need to roll back into a snapshot you have to replace the actual subvolume by the chosen snapshot.
- Make a snapshot(ro) of the actual subvolume (for later reference)
- Delete the subvolume out of its actual place
- Create a new subvolume(rw) out of the snapshot chosen for rollback
- Make this new subvolume the default (optional)
- Don't forget to remove the snapshot you made in a few days
see in forum: manual Rollback with btrfs
Please also have a look at snapper-rollback@github and at snapshot-layout@wiki.archlinux for the suggested flat layout and the reasoning. (Rollback example )
Btrfs RAID
With Btrfs you no longer need to use mdadm to create mirrored volumes or to create RAIDs. This is already included in btrfs, and very easy to use. There are even advanced features bult in:
- Add devices to the volume This will integrate a device into the mounted volume root # btrfs device add [/dev/sdz7] /
- Remove devices from the volume. This will not delete any data, but remove the device from the volume. Bevorehand all data will be copied to the remaining devices of the volume.root # btrfs device delete [/dev/sdz8] /
- Use devices with different sizes in one volume
- Switch the volume between RAID levels
- Convert data to different RAID levels
- Do this while the volume is mounted and being used
смотри RAID@wikipedia
RAID 0 (not Just a Bunch of Disks)
Using one ore more devices to build a volume. This volume has the capacity of all the used devices together(1+2+3+4...). This is an very easy way to expand your volume when you need more space. You even can add 2 or 3 devices at a time. When you want to replace a device, you can add the new device, then remove the old device. Btrfs will move all data as necessary. To distribute all data to all devices you may want to balance the volume. Btrfs will stripe the data to all devices.
1 device
In most setups you will start a volume with 1 device. If only one device is present, metadata will be duplicated on that device. Even with this simple setup you benefit from most features of Btrfs.
2 or more devices
By default, metadata will be mirrored across two devices and data will be striped across all of the devices present. But if you have 2 or more devices in your volume you should consider using RAID 1.
RAID 1 (mirrored), 1C3, 1C4
When using Raid 1 btrfs mirrors data and metadata. This way it is possible to repair data when one copy gets damaged. This could happen when one device fails, when power was lost while writing, ... After enabling RAID1 all new data and metadata is automatically mirrored. To mirror your existing data and metadata, you have to balance your complete volume.
Automatic repair
In order to preserve the integrity of the volume, Btrfs does separate CRC-checksums of metadata blocks and of data blocks. Every time a data block is read, the checksum is verified. When the checksum shows that the data is not good, Btrfs tries to get a good copy from the mirrored block. Then the bad block is written again with the good data from the mirrored block. This happens in background. The filesystem has been repaired, and this is logged into syslog. This can be forced by using btrfs scrub.
RAID 10 (automatic)
When using enough devices(4...) with RAID 1, Btrfs will distribute all data, so that it not only is mirrored but also striped.
RAID 5
RAID 6
Btrfs maintenance
Btrfs needs maintenace like every filesystem. The more you use advanced features of btrfs, the more you have to watch for the right maintenance.
Fragmentation
Files on btrfs tend to get somewhat fragmented, when they are appended or changed often. If you use a mechanical disk with slow seeks, it may be advisable to defragment some heavy used files from time to time (like once in a month).
When the files are only written to, or are only read seldom, don't worry.
Databases
It may be good to defragment a database if there is a noticeable slowdown when using it.
Logfiles
It may be good to defragment a logfile, if there is a noticeable slowdown when booting your system.
Balance ⇒
When adding devices or changing the RAID-level of your volume, it may be necessary to balance your volume. While balancing, btrfs will read ALL (or a subset of all) chunks in, and write them out again using the actual RAID-level. It will stripe these files over all available devices equally. While this happens, the volume will keep being usable, but you may see some heavy load on it. Also this may take a very long time because ALL data must be read AND written again. Don´t worry about shutdown. When you shutdown your computer while the balance is running, the balance will pause. After you restart the computer the balance will restart and continue until it is finished.
Filters
Because a complete balance may take a long time, there is the possibility of filters in balance. When using a filter only those chunks will be balanced, that are named by the filter.
Merging chunks
As you use your volume, you will be creating some files, deleting some, modifying some. Then some parts of the chunks are empty. But this is not a coherent space that can be easily reused. Usually this is not a problem for btrfs and will be cleaned up automatically over time. However, if space is scarce (> 80% full), it is advisable to merge free areas together. This can be done by using balance with a filter.
After removing a device
When you remove a device from a volume, btrfs will automatically balance all "chunks" that where on the removed device. These chunks are placed on another device of the volume. So you don't need to balance by yourself after removing a device.
After adding a device
When you add a device there will be no automatic balance. Only when further using the volume, btrfs will use the additional free space according to the actual RAID-level.
After changing RAID-level
When you changed RAID-levels (for example from RAID 0 to RAID 1) there is no automatic duplication of the chunks. Only when writing further, btrfs will respect the changed RAID-level. This may not be what you intended. To complete the conversion to another RAID-level you need to tell btrfs to rewrite chunks where needed. You do this with a manual balance:
смотри: btrfs filesystem balance
Scrub ⇒
A scrub of a btrfs volume is like inspecting your home. Does the light work in every room? Is the battery of a smoke alarm empty? Does the fire extinguisher need to be replaced? Is any faucet dripping? Every now and then it is advisable to look for such things. And fix it right away!
Check & repair on the fly
Every time btrfs reads a file, it checks the corresponding checksums. When btrfs is in RAID 0 and detects a 'damaged' file, it only can tell you that the file is damaged. You may delete it, or replace it from your backup. When running in RAID 1 btrfs has 2 copies of every file. So if one file seems to be damaged, btrfs will read the other copy. If this other copy is ok, btrfs will automatically create another good copy of the file, and then afterwards delete the defect copy. You won't even notice this 'automatic' repair.
Full check
Sometimes you may want to check ALL files, and to get a report of defects, because:
- Some files are read very seldom, and you don't want "bitrott"
- You want to check your data completely for any faults
- Once in a while you want to make sure all is well
- You want to force your disk/device to verify all data
- ...
This is when you use btrfs scrub. Scrub will read ALL data of your complete volume. While this is done, all files and metadata will be checked by the checksums and all problems will be reportet. Because this will read and verify your complete volume (eventually a few Terra-byte), it may take some time. Scrub will not waste time in checking unused chunks. While checking you can enable automatic repair for RAID 1 or disable it. If you disable automatic repair, scrub will work completely readonly, and will change nothing on your volume.
Scrub can be done automatically (for example every month), or manually.
A manual scrub is done by:

Avoid to get out of space with btrfs!
Don't be stingy on storage space when creating a btrfs volume. A btrfs volume should normally only be 80% full. Then it is advisable to adjust the volume. In an emergency, 90% are okay too. But that is neither advantageous for the Btrfs volume nor for an SSD.
Get out of jail
This said, there is an easy way out: Give btrfs more space ;-)
- add a partition (for example a extern USB-Stick with 8GB) to the btrfs-volume withroot # btrfs device add /dev/[sdz4] /
- From now on this usb-partition belongs to your volume! Do not boot without it. Do not reboot at all in this stage! This stick has to stay until btrfs device remove has completed.
- look for old snapshots you don´t need, remove them now
- or delete some files you do not need
- Do this until your disk will be not more then 95% full
Do not get confused if btrfs does not immediately display the vacant space. After the next step (balance) it will become visible.
- balance your volume with a filter(50%) This will take some time !
- balance your volume with a filter(95%) This will take some more time !
- remove the added partition from the volume with root # btrfs device remove /dev/[sdz4] /
- This will take some time ! Do not reboot until this step is complete.
- Now you may remove the USB-Stick.
Stay out of jail
- Think about how to extend the btrfs volume to double size
- seek if there is a program filling your disk
- look for snapshots !
- don’t forget to remove old snapshots (best done automatically)
Corrupted checksums
[ 9364.354241] BTRFS error (device nvme0n1p3): block=58469742080 write time tree block corruption detected
This ERROR or similar may lead to Messages like:
Configuration file "/home/user/.config/dolphinrc" not writable. Please contact your system administrator.
because btrfs does mount this partition readonly when it detects corrupted blocks.
Now you have to investigate WHY a checksum of a btrfs block says it is corrupted.
- In some cases the underlying device may beginn to fail ! => replace it (consider using RAID10)
- In other cases a corruption may have happened even before the block had been written to disk
- corruption in RAM
- some software-bug ???
Советы
Создание тома
There is an easy and secure way to move a volume to another disk/device. If you use Btrfs itself to move the volume, there will be no danger. You even can do this while the volume is in use.
- Create the partition you want to use as destination without formatting it. Or remove the filesystem when one is present
- Add the destination device to your volume by root # btrfs device add /dev/[destination]
- Remove the source device from your volume by root # btrfs device remove /dev/[source]
Btrfs will notice, that it is necessary for this setup to move all data from the source device to the destination device. And it will start immediately to move data in the background. Meanwhile you can use your PC as you want.
- Empty Blocks will not be moved
- Compressed data will remain compressed
- All Snapshots will remain
- The UUID of the filesystem will remain the same, but btrfs will be aware of this
- If you used the UUID to identify your volume, you even wont´t need to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg and /etc/fstab
- Only, don't shutdown while the move of the volume is not complete.
If you want to watch the volume move, inside a terminal:

Compression ⇒
Compression can only be set per volume. So if you set different "levels" of compression for different mounts in the fstab, only the first "level" will be applied. see@btrfs.readthedocs.io

Может быть в будущем.
Send + receive = backup ⇒
Some wiki-posts in the forum:
Quota groups ⇒
Quota support in Btrfs is implemented at the subvolume level.
For more info see Quota_support@btrfs.kernel.org
Zoned mode ⇒
Beginning with version 5.12
Btrfs Tools
For complete info an all tools for btrfs please do an actual search at the arch wiki and at the manjaro forum for "btrfs". In the following section only a few commands are described. Especially those commands that are often misinterpreted. Commands described earlier are omitted.
btrfs (the command) ⇒
Be aware that some sub-commands of btrfs will not work as normal user. Other sub-commands do work but will give only partial info. So best use them as root or with sudo.
help, version
help together with man btrfs or info btrfs will get you an overview over the usable options on your install.device
scan will give no visible results 😜
stats will give a list of errors detected in the past. This all should be 0, or you may be in trouble.
What to look for in device usage:
- RAID-level of Data, Metadata and System
- Unalocated:
Don't ever let Unalocated: get below 5% of your volume (or double the size you need for your next update)! If this goes too low, you will get into "out of space" trouble
Without sudo this will give very wrong results for everything displayed. Dont´t use this without sudo !

Additional Information
Why not btrfs ?
A lot of people say: "I don't use btrfs because it is experimental and is not stable. You can´t use it in production. It is not safe!".
Not stable ?
The status of btrfs was experimental for a long time, but the core functionality is considered good enough for daily use. (from kernel.org)
If you see statements declaring Btrfs as not stable, please look for the date of them. Some seem to date from 10 years ago. So if you want to give Btrfs a chance, you have to look for newer statements. Maybe even look at Btrfs Kernel Wiki as that sure is the best information regarding Btrfs
Experimental ?
Btrfs is feature-rich! There are new features being implemented and these should be considered experimental for a few releases when the bugs get ironed out when number of brave users help stabilizing it.(from kernel.org)
Some features are not implemented yet. Others are only partly implemented. Some are experimental and not suggested for production use. As is always the case in Linux-land you decide what to use, and so you are responsible for your own decisions.
Not usable for production ?
- Distro support for Btrfs as main filesystem
- Some companies do use Btrfs in production@wiki.btrfs.kernel.org
- Some manufacturers do deploy devices where Btrfs is installed by default.
Difficult to repair ?
Indeed, when you search for the usual ways to repair a file system like FAT or Ext4 then you don't find good information about repairing btrfs. This is not because it is difficult to repair Btrfs, but because repairing Btrfs does work very differently.
What's this "Copy on Write"
When you want to get the most out of using Btrfs you do need to know some things about this file system. Then you are able to use it properly and to your advantage. Btrfs is not difficult, but different to some extend.
Write in place (FAT32)
Most older file systems do write "in place". This means that some data or metadata will be written "over" the previous data at the same place.
For example this is the case for FAT32 file systems. The File Allocation Table is at a fixed place on this file system. When the "FAT" changes (because a file got bigger and needs more blocks), this new FAT must be written with the new data to the same place as before. When the disk is ejected before (or while) this data is written, the file system will be corrupted. And the FAT does change a lot.
The danger of corruption is especially big while metadata (like filename, permission, usage of disk space ...) is being written.
Write to a metadata-log (Ext4)
There is a solution to this with newer file systems like Ext4. Instead of writing metadata "in place", metadata is written into an "endless" log. Then it is not possible to be corrupted while overwritten. This is possible because metadata is only a very small part of the data in a file system.
There has to be an additional mechanism to make this safe. Sometimes this is called "barriers", and there have to be checksums that tell when a part of the log is corrupted.
This does protect the file system itself, but not the files in it. Because a file may be overwritten in place, and then the old file is lost, and the new one may not have been written completely.
Copy on Write! (Btrfs)
Copy on Write is a "new" concept. It means the file system will try to never write over existing data. How is this even possible?
- Files are appended at the end of a "data page"
- Metadata is appended at a "metadata page"
- Inside a page nothing is ever overwritten
- When a page is full the file system will use the next free page
- Deleting a file does not write/clean its data, but writes metadata, that marks this file as deleted
- Overwriting a file does first append the new file to the actual "data page", then appends the metadata for this file to the "metadata page".
- Changing small parts of a file will write only the new parts, then link the rest to the old file
- there are checksums for data and metadata
Downsides
- Management of space is complex
- There are 2 sorts of pages (data / metadata)
- There has to be a clean-up-process who makes the space of deleted files reusable, so that the disk does not run out of free pages
- It must be avoided to write data unnecessarily, because then the clean-up would also be very expensive
Advantages
- It is possible to detect nearly any corruption because of the checksums
- When the power is lost, or the disk is disconnected, all old data is save. WHY?
- Every bit of "old" data from before the power loss or the disconnection is present because it is NOT overwritten
- Only the newly written data may be partly damaged
- The metadata may also be partly damaged
- When mounting the volume it is possible by analyzing checksums and metadata to find the point in the filesystem where all was good
- Btrfs will automatically roll back to this point, then it can mount the file system writable
- CoW is a sound foundation to build upon
- Snapshots
- RAID
- Volume management
- Compression
- Encryption (maybe some time in the future)
