Subject: Some ideas for improvements
Date: Wed, 25 May 2016 16:45:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <45a47ee4db4cc92248f91f1d00e8ed03@www.centurion.link> (raw)

Dear btrfs community,

I hope btrfs developers are open for suggestions.

btrfs-scrub:

* Would be nice if 'btrfs scrub status' shows estimated finishing time 
(ETA) and throughput (in Mb/s).
* Not possible to start scrub for all devices in the volume without 
mounting it.

btrfs-restore:

* It does not restore special files like named pipes and devices.
* Hard-linked files are not correctly restored (they all turn into 
independent replicas).
* If the file cannot be read / recovered, it is still created with zero 
size (I would expect that the file is not created).
* I think that the options '-xmS' should be enabled by default 
(shouldn't it be a goal to restore as much as possible?).
* Option that applies (y) to all questions (completely unattended 
recovery) is missing.

-- 
With best regards,
Dmitry
