some btrfs test results

some btrfs test results

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

I converted my ext4 volume to btrfs with success. Things seem to be working 
but there were many performance problems too.

* btrfs-convert /dev/sda6 took almost 5 hrs to create the btrfs metadata for 
my 120G SATA HDD

* After I boot into my newly converted btrfs / filesystem, df reports 
erratic.

rrs@learner:~$ mount
/dev/sda6 on / type btrfs (rw)
tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620)
overflow on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,size=1048576,mode=1777)
fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)


rrs@learner:~$ df -h

On another test device, where an mkfs.btrfs was done, the space utilization 
was shown correctly.
