RE: Possible bug in BTRFS w/ Duplication

[Sam Winchenbach <swichenbach@tethers.com>]

I believe you fixed the issue with the patch you presented. I was in the process of testing a similar fix for release and it solved the issue I encountered.

Thanks,
Sam Winchenbach

You mean multi-device?

For DUP/RAID1 duplication, they don't have stripe limitation at all.

Thus I believe you're talking about RAID0 (which doesn't have any duplication/extra mirrors) or RAID10 or RAID5/6?

But for now, we don't support multi-device in U-boot yet, thus I'm not sure what situation you're talking about.

Mind to run the following command?

  # btrfs fi usage <mnt of the btrfs>

So the first 3 sectors are before the stripe boundary and we read it correctly.

I believe this is the problem.

If we're reading the full 32K, and the first 12K is in the first stripe, we should then try to map the remaining 20K, not the 12K again.

I'll look into the situation.
But if you can provide the image or the dump, it can greatly help the debugging.

Thanks,
