Subject: btrfsck is using far too much memory
Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2014 22:34:59 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <535B1B53.80807@polymtl.ca> (raw)

btrfsck is using far too much memory !

I tryed a btrfsck on my /dev/md127 (13T) and had to kill it
because btrfsck used 7.8 Gigs of ram ( machine have 8 Gigs of ram, plus four Gigs on swap when I killed it)

btrfsck should not try to bring "in memory" the whole metadata, etc.

my 2 cents, (will reformat /dev/md127 tomorrow, actually saving what can be saved on the old readonly fs)


Xtian.
