Subject: Moving subvolumes across disks
Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2014 16:46:26 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87a9f0naa5.fsf@maru2.md5i.com> (raw)
I currently have a disk with a btrfs volume dedicated to backups. All
of these backups are snapshotted volumes that were sent to this disk via
btrfs send/receive). Moreover the disk has had deduplication processes
run on it a time or two.
I wish to re-format this disk using a larger metadata block (so it can
better handle large numbers of snapshots). So I want to move all
existing data to another disk. Is there a way to copy/move a volume
with all subvolumes to another disk, maintaining shared extents (from
deduplication)?
