Subject: BTRFS incompatible with different page sizes
Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2013 18:24:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHFzjDB3E0AxAL757GZYoLwie=cqwLNZURPTcvZtcGAtVyEg5g@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi
BTRFS filesystem is incompatible with architectures such as PowerPC
and MIPS which have a page size larger than 4k, Meaning that using a
formatted FS on machine with 64K page size will not be mounted on a
machine with 4K page.
I have noticed this remark in the wiki:
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Project_ideas#Different_sector_sizes
and the WIP patch there.
Can someone please update what is the status on this? Is someone working on it?
I can suggest to try and pick this up, if people are interested in
this solution.
Regards
Ronen Shitrit
