Hi guys,

Seems not many of us yet use btrfs, I therefore would like to ask if
any users can signoff on the btrfs-progs in testing (i.e. verify that
the package appears to work).

In particular, I'm interested to hear if someone who uses btrfs-progs
and initscripts from testing could verify that the multi-device
support still works? If you have the btrfs hook in your initramfs,
then please enable udev too and regenerate the image to verify that
that also still works.

For those who are interested: the change we made was to scan btrfs
devices for multi-device support using udev rules as the devices
appear rather than doing it unconditionally after "all the devices
should be ready". This approach should hopefully be more reliable than
the old one.

Cheers,

Tom

I use btrfs for 3 years now the last 2 is my root and home partitions
(with regular backups).
I am not using testing repository, I can enable it and test
btrfs-progs. I usually just compile and install btrfs-progs from
Hugo's repository with latest patches.

Unfortunately none of my computers have multi-device btrfs now, used
to have one for testing a couple of years ago

Let me know if I can otherwise help.

I have a multi-device volume, but I'm running systemd. I can validate
that btrfs-progs in testing didn't break my volume being mounted
automatically on a reboot.

I assume you are then using the btrfs hook in mkinitcpio? Did you
regenerate it before you rebooted? (mkinitcpio -p linux).

Last night in a fit of insomnia I decided to run btrfs-convert on my ext4 root.
No problems at all so far =)

Hi,
I installed btrfs-progs from testing and regenerated the image
using mkinitcpio. It works fine and my btrfs volume is still being
mounted correctly. I use systemd though and don't have any multi
device btrfs volume either.

Tested btrfs-progs from testing in 64bit arch, produced image and
hook. I don't have a multi device though.
