BTRFS fsck ?

BTRFS fsck ?

[Hervé CHIBOIS]

Hello Team

for personnal use, I'm interested in cosolidating all my ext4 
sub-filesystems into a single one using BTRFS.

I can"t afford loosing my data... and my question is : is there a 
release date for the fsck tool for btrfs ?

Thanx in advance

Herve (from France)

The ONLY guard against losing data is having an up-to-date backup, not fsck.

You are absolutely crazy if you store the data you can't afford to lose, without backups, just relying on what currently, ext4 fsck?

I've set myself up for disappointment with release dates in the past.

We've found put some really important corruption fixes into the 3.2
merge window, and the current for-linus branch of the btrfs kernel repo
has a fix for write cache flushing bugs that are probably responsible
for most of the corruptions people have seen with power failures.

With this settled down, I'm back on fsck full time.

I also wonder about it...During the summer I migrated from FreeBSD/ZFS
back to Linux and had a feeling, based on info I got (IRC, wiki etc.)
that fsck is around the corner, but now I see it's good that we opted
for ext4...


Sincerely,
Gour
