Subject: Btrfs with zoned devices
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 14:55:17 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHzMYBSfK7Ms9W9rc1mzsyP0aRkXg=3G6VXuur15jm7OE2JoCA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I'm using a zoned device for the first time; it's a 27TB WD Ultrastar
HC680, formatted with single data and DUP metadata.
This will be used for non-critical WORM media data, but during the
initial data load, using a single rsync thread, the filesystem crashed
twice, 1st time after copying around 1.25T, 2nd time around 2.5T
total.
I'm now using some mount options suggested by LLMs, and it hasn't
crashed so far, but it's not been long; currently at 3.58T used.
mount -o rw,noatime,commit=60,flushoncommit,discard=async
My question is, are these mount options good for HM-SMR or do you
recommend different ones, and could they help with the crashing?
These were the crashes I saw, they look similar to me, and after
unmounting and remounting, it worked again:
