Hi, btrfs is going to get support for 3- and 4-copy RAID1, https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/cover.1572534591.git.dste...@suse.com/
This patch adds the support. The code changes are minimal, it's essentially only extension of what RAID1 does. I haven't tested it though, the docs don't see to cover filesystem support testing. What I tried: * make btrfs_test * ./btrfs_test It did not find any compressible file from the candidate list, I wonder why a dummy zero-filled file cannot be created instead. Then running it seems to create only the default profile of the images (mkfs prints only single/dup for data and metadata), the following message seems to repeat without any real progress: -- Label: grub_;/testé莭莽😁киритi urewfceniuewruevrewnuuireurevueurnievrewfnerfcnevirivinrewvnirewnivrewiuvcrewvnuewvrrrewniuerwreiuviurewiuviurewnuvewnvrenurnunuvrevuurerejiremvreijnvcreivire nverivnreivrevnureiorfnfrvoeoiroireoireoifrefoieroifoireoi UUID: f6d3e26c-4d6c-407d-b981-7aa6d842578a Node size: 16384 Sector size: 4096 Filesystem size: 5.66GiB Block group profiles: Data: single 8.00MiB Metadata: DUP 256.00MiB System: DUP 8.00MiB SSD detected: no Incompat features: extref, skinny-metadata Number of devices: 1 Devices: ID SIZE PATH 1 5.66GiB /dev/loop0 Device proc: Filesystem type procfs - Sector size 512B - Total size 0KiB Device loop0: Filesystem type btrfs - Label `grub_;/testé莭莽😁киритi urewfceniuewruevrewnuuireurevueurnievrewfnerfcnevirivinrewvnirewnivrewiuvcrewvnuewvrrrewniuerwreiuviurewiuviurewnuvewnvrenurnunuvrevuurerejiremvreijnvcreivire nverivnreivrevnureiorfnfrvoeoiroireoireoifrefoieroifoireoi', UUID f6d3e26c-4d6c-407d-b981-7aa6d842578a - Sector size 512B - Total size 5939200KiB Device host: Filesystem type hostfs - Sector size 512B - Total size 0KiB umount: /tmp/tmp.1I3JDrkI64/btrfs_zstd_rw: not mounted. -- There must be something I'm missing, please advise.
