Subject: btrfs balance resume + raid5/6
Date: Sun, 16 Jun 2013 06:00:10 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20130616T072808-446@post.gmane.org> (raw)

Greetings! 

I'm testing raid6, and recently added two drives. 
I haven't been able to properly resume a balance operation: the number of
total chunks is always too low.  

It seems that the balance starts and pauses properly, but always resumes
with ~7 chunks. 

Here's an example: 

vendikar tim # uname -r
3.10.0-031000rc4-generic
vendikar tim # btrfs fi sho
Label: 'bank'  uuid: 682bd1f5-1bd3-479b-8882-867dfe32375f
	Total devices 7 FS bytes used 4.70TB
	devid    4 size 1.82TB used 1.44TB path /dev/dm-9
	devid    1 size 2.73TB used 1.44TB path /dev/dm-8
	devid    5 size 2.73TB used 1.44TB path /dev/dm-7
	devid    6 size 931.51GB used 207.00GB path /dev/dm-6
	devid    2 size 2.73TB used 1.44TB path /dev/dm-5
	devid    3 size 2.73TB used 1.44TB path /dev/dm-4
	devid    7 size 931.51GB used 207.00GB path /dev/dm-3

Btrfs v0.20-rc1-324-g650e656
vendikar tim # btrfs fi df bank/

vendikar tim # btrfs balance start bank/ 
vendikar tim # btrfs balance status bank/

vendikar tim # btrfs balance pause bank/
vendikar tim # btrfs balance status bank/
Balance on 'bank/' is paused

vendikar tim # btrfs balance resume bank
vendikar tim # btrfs balance status bank/
Balance on 'bank/' is running
1 out of about 4 chunks balanced (5 considered),  75% left

All the best, 
Tim
