Subject: Is "btrfs balance start" truly asynchronous?
Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2016 18:33:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f68639e5a41343c04fa4d76f3fb14370@www.centurion.link> (raw)
Dear btfs community,
I have added a drive to existing raid1 btrfs volume and decided to
perform balancing so that data distributes "fairly" among drives. I have
started "btrfs balance start", but it stalled for about 5-10 minutes
intensively doing the work. After that time it has printed something
like "had to relocate 50 chunks" and exited. According to drive I/O,
"btrfs balance" did most (if not all) of the work, so after it has
exited the job was done.
Shouldn't "btrfs balance start" do the operation in the background?
Thanks for any information.

With best regards,
Dmitry
