I'm not planning to run my whole system on btrfs just yet - but I was
keen to start running one or two test filesystems on a server that I
currently have running Debian squeeze. Everything else on the server
has to remain as-is if possible.
Thanks for the feedback - I will start looking into the newer kernels
and see if I can use one of them with squeeze, or maybe I will just set
up a VM for btrfs
One thing I've already noticed in 2.6.39 (and both versions of the
tools) is that df results are misleading. E.g. if I run regular df (not
btrfs fi df), I am seeing the same amount of available space for all
filesystems. Is there currently a way to see space used by each
subvolume and snapshot and which kernel and tools versions might be needed?
