Subject: Is there a way to flag specific directories "nodatacow"?
Date: Sun, 02 Jun 2013 07:40:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <51AB5974.3080803@chinilu.com> (raw)
I am seeing massive journal corruptions that seem to be unique to btrfs
and I am suspecting that cow might be causing them. My bandaid fix for
this will be to mark the /var filesystem "nodatacow" at boot. But I am
wondering if their is any way to flag a particular directory as
"nodatacow" outside of the mount process. I would like to be able to
mark /var/log/journal as "nodatacow" for example, without having to
declare it a subvolume and mount it separately.
