Subject: State of nocow file attribute
Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2012 12:12:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120815101229.GH25996@vicerveza.homeunix.net> (raw)
Hello,
some time ago we discussed on #btrfs that the nocow attribute for files wasn't
working (around 3.3 or 3.4 kernels). That was evident by files fragmenting even
with the attribute set.
Chris mentioned to find a fix quickly for that, and posted some lines of change
into irc. But recently someone mentioned that 3.6-rc looks like still not
respecting nocow for files.
Is there really a fix upstream for that? Do nocow attribute on files work for
anyone already?
Regards,
Lluís.
