Subject: How to remount btrfs without compression?
Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2011 09:53:47 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4EB72C1B.1030702@parallels.com> (raw)
Hello,
Is there any possibility to remount a compressed btrfs without any
compression at all?
Syslinux bootloader does not understand any btrfs compression and
whenever I edit syslinux.cfg on my compressed / subvolume, the file
becomes compressed and thus unreadable by syslinux on the next boot.
I tried to remount / without the 'compress' option (and edit
syslinux.cfg in uncompressed state) and while the "mount" command would
not show compression any more, I can see in the /proc/mounts that
compression is still there and the file still gets compressed after
editing. But there seem to be no mount option like compress=none or
something.
The only workaround I found is to boot from a live CD mount / without
any compression and re-save syslinux.cfg. Then it the file gets
uncompressed.
Are there any other options except for this workaround to temporarily
remount btrfs without compression?
thanks
