Subject: BTRFS, SSD and single metadata

Message-ID: <1723493.aXdklhDgAK@vajra> (raw)
Hi,
I created a BTRFS filesytem over LVM over LUKS encryption on an SSD [yes, I
know...], and I noticed that the FS got created with metadata in "DUP" mode,
contrary to what "man mkfs.btrfs" says for SSDs -> it would be supposed to be
"SINGLE"...
Well I don't know if my system didn't identify the SSD because of the LVM+LUKS
stack (however it mounts well by itself with the "ssd" flag and accepts the
"discard" option [yes, I know...]), or if the manpage is obsolete or if this
feature just doesn't work...?
The SSD being a Micron RealSSD C400
For both SSD preservation and data integrity, would it be advisable to change
metadata to "SINGLE" using a rebalance, or if I'd better just leave things the
way they are...?
TIA for any insight.
