btrfs qgroup destroy -> ERROR: unable to create quota group: Device or resource busy

btrfs qgroup destroy -> ERROR: unable to create quota group: Device or resource busy

[Tomasz Chmielewski]

I'm using qgroups and have created a few hundreds of subvolumes in the
past.

It seems that btrfs automatically assigns a qgroup to newly created
snapshot/subvolume, but does not destroy the qgroup when the subvolume
is deleted.

So I've tried to destroy the unused qgroups, with mixed success. I was
able to destroy most of them, but some are still failing, i.e.:

# btrfs qgroup destroy 4494 /mnt/lxc1
ERROR: unable to create quota group: Device or resource busy


Note the negative number here, but I also have qgroups with both
positive numbers, which I'm not able to destroy as well:

# btrfs qgroup show /mnt/lxc1 | grep 4494
0/4494 839516160 -69632


qgroup 4494 is not used by any subvolume:

# btrfs sub list /mnt/lxc1 | grep 4494


I did run "btrfs quota rescan" for this filesystem, hoping it will fix
the problem, but it didn't.


Any advice?

This should be implemented. And will soon.

Just remove qgroup（4494）'s parent qgroup. then it can be removed.
Anyway, i think this is unnecessary.

Great to hear (using 3.11-rc4 now).

I don't want to remove the parent qgroup, as it's in use by other subvolumes:

# /usr/src/qgroup/btrfs-progs/btrfs qgroup show -c /mnt/lxc1 | grep 4494

0/4494 839516160 18446744073709481984 ---   <------ want to remove only this one

13/1 2142674944 2142674944 0/3973,0/3974,0/3978,0/3981,0/4355,0/4373,0/4398,0/4400,0/4401,0/4427,0/4448,0/4449,0/4457,0/4458,0/4475,0/4476,0/4487,0/4488,0/4489,0/4490,0/4491,0/4492,0/4493,0/4494,0/4495,0/4496,0/4497,0/4498,0/4499,0/4506,0/4507,0/4518


Parent qgroup 13/1 makes accounting for other qgroups - therefore, I don't want to remove it.



BTW, "/usr/src/qgroup/btrfs-progs/btrfs" is from http://github.com/miaoxie/btrfs-progs.git, to support printing parent/child qgroup IDs.

Note it shows different values than btrfs from official repository - is that expected?

# /usr/src/qgroup/btrfs-progs/btrfs qgroup show /mnt/lxc1 | grep 4494
0/4494 839516160 18446744073709481984

# btrfs qgroup show /mnt/lxc1 | grep 4494
0/4494 839516160 -69632

Sorry, you must destroy relation between 13/1 and 4494. then you can remove it.

So how exactly should I do it? A bit confused on how to proceed.

- remove 13/1, remove 4494

- add 13/1, and add all previous qgroups to it?
0/3973,0/3974,0/3978,0/3981,0/4355,0/4373,0/4398,0/4400,0/4401,....

- run quota scan?


It can't be right, can it?

btrfs qgroup remove 4494 13/1 <mnt>

will destroy relation between 4494 and 13/1
Then you can try:

btrfs qgroup destroy 4494 <mnt>

In fact, group's exclusive must be less or equal  than it's referenced  value, if you find it is not true in official
progs, you can report it!

Here should be expected, because, i don't cast qgroup's value to s64 while
it is stored as u64. I will fix this problem when i rebase my patch-set.

In fact, i doubt whether qgroup's exclusive helps, because it always can not
work very well, it requires user to track the value especially snapshoting.

Thanks,
Wang
