Subject: [PATCH 0/2] btrfs-progs: check: avoid false alerts for --check-data-csum on RAID56
Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2022 17:44:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1648546873.git.wqu@suse.com> (raw)
There is a long existing bug that btrfs-progs doesn't really support
rebuilding its data using RAID56 P/Q.
This means any read with mirror_num > 1 for RAID56 won't work, and will
just return the P/Q raw data directly.
The RAID56 ability in btrfs-progs is only for data write.
This will cause tons of false alerts for "btrfs check
--check-data-csum", making it useless as an offline to verify RAID56
data.
The proper fix will need way more code modification (btrfs-fuse supports
that, so I believe it's possible).
But for now, let's just disable mirror_num > 1 read repair for progs.
