Subject: Errors during defragmentation
Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2010 22:02:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CF41500.8000804@podzimek.org> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 825 bytes --]

Hello,

I decided to test the 'defragment' feature on my system (after a huge number of system updates and prelinking):

	find /bin /sbin /lib /usr/lib /usr/bin /usr/sbin -type d -exec btrfs filesystem defragment '{}' '+'

I have already defragmented a couple of (very large) directories with no errors at all, so this was expected to work somehow. Surprisingly, this time there were thousands of messages like this:

	ioctl failed on <directory name> ret -1 errno 28

Most of the reported directories had zero files/subdirectories. However, *most* of them were *not* empty...

What does this error message mean? Could someone shed more light on this, please? Should I get ready for a bad crash? ;-) (There seems to be no data loss so far. No new messages in dmesg, no unexpected system behavior.)

Andrej
