Subject: How to move a btrfs volume to a smaller disk
Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2016 22:46:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <56E099A1.8040506@friedels.name> (raw)

Hello,

I intend to move this subvolume to a new device.
btrfs fi show /mnt2/Data_Store/
Label: 'Data_Store'  uuid: 0ccc1e24-090d-42e2-9e61-d0a1b3101f93
         Total devices 1 FS bytes used 47.93GiB
         devid    1 size 102.94GiB used 76.03GiB path /dev/sdb4

(fi usage at the bottom of this message)

The new device (sda4) is 8G smaller unfortunately.
sda       8:0    0 111.8G  0 disk
└─sda4    8:4    0 103.5G  0 part
sdb       8:16   0 119.2G  0 disk
└─sdb4    8:20   0   111G  0 part  /mnt2/Data_Store

Thus, btrfs replace does not work

What would you suggest now to move the FS (it does contain many subvolumes)?

I tried btrfs send /mnt2/Data_Store/read_only_snapshot/ | btrfs receive 
/mnt/sda4/
but this only created an empty subvolume /mnt/sda4/read_only_snapshot/

So, then
btrfs device add /dev/sda4 /mnt/Data_Store
btrfs balance start /mnt/Data_Store
btrfs device remove /dev/sdb4 /mnt/Data_Store
?

Or is there a better option?

Regards,
Hendrik
