PATCH 1/2 Btrfs: make space to keep default mount options

This patch create space to hold default mount option, and to use saved default mount option change super.c to read default mount option first when mount devices.

Indeed. I'll use __le64 next time.

At least I don't know whether this was already disscussed or not. Now my code gives priority to the default options, and it would not be so difficult in case if we have opposing options like "ssd" vs "nossd", and "space_cache" vs "no_space_cache"...
Or we could use the default options only if there is no options specified when it is being mount, but it will make the default options useless. Humm, I'll try to pull together my thoughts prior to my next post.

At least I don't know whether this was already disscussed or not.

For the subset you've selected, whole-fs default options, I now think we don't need it, the discussions we had were about option precedence for per -file, -subvolume, -fs, -mount. At the time of mount only per-mount and per-fs need to sort their precedence. Any per-file option has to be evaluated at a specific time eg. when new data are written in case of compression.

Now my code gives priority to the default options, and it would not be so difficult in case if we have opposing options like "ssd" vs "nossd", and "space_cache" vs "no_space_cache"...

Yep, that's what I expect to temporarily disable a specific option, eg. the space_cache. For that purpose the full set of options with their no- counterparts would make sense from the usability POV (although there may be exceptions).

Quoted 3 lines

Or we could use the default options only if there is no options specified when it is being mount, but it will make the default options useless.

You mean in case of a simple

mount /dev/ice /mnt

?

This seems like a limited use of the defaults and may be confusing.

PATCH 2/2 Btrfs-progs: add mount-option command

In reply to Hidetoshi Seto

This patch adds mount-option command.
The command can set/get default mount options. Now, the command can set/get 24 options. These options are equal to mount options which store in fs_info/mount-opt.

I don't think we need implement a separate command to do this, we can add it into btrfstune just like ext3/4. If so, the users who used ext3/4 before can be familiar with btrfs command as soon as possible.

Beside that, why not add a option into mkfs.btrfs?

Thanks

This patch adds mount-option command.
The command can set/get default mount options. Now, the command can set/get 24 options. These options are equal to mount options which store in fs_info/mount-opt.

I don't think we need implement a separate command to do this, we can add it into btrfstune just like ext3/4. If so, the users who used ext3/4 before can be familiar with btrfs command as soon as possible.

btrfstune currently only does one thing:

$ sudo btrfstune
usage: btrfstune [options] device
	-S value	enable/disable seeding

To me it'd seem more logical the other way, why not move this operation to the base "btrfs" utility under some command, and remove "btrfstune" completely.

And I'm with you here. I'm not sure if btrfstune has widespread use, the functionality should go into a single management tool that everybody uses.

Beside that, why not add a option into mkfs.btrfs?

It is planned. Once we can fix a way how to save default options, modifying mkfs.btfs would be easy.

It's desirable to extend mkfs with explict feature options like other filesystems do (eg. mke2fs -O features...) or be able to set incompatibility flags directly or the mount defaults prior to mount and actual fs use.

Some of the options do not IMO fit for being default, like DEGRADED, maybe RECOVERY, maybe SKIP_BALANCE.

So, you're basically implementing subset of the whole-filesystem options. As has been mentioned, alternate way is to use the 'properties' interface as a global entry point from the management tool. It would be great if you base your patches on top of it.

(The props haven't been acked, but we've reached a wider consensus on irc, patches are in the mailinglist, so we can bring it up again and discuss outstanding issues or objections. I'm mainly concerned about priority of setting the defaults and not-bloating the 'btrfs' interface too much.)

Hi Seto,

please could you update also the man page too ?
Why it was not provided a way to clear a *single* flag ? To me it seems a bit too long to clear all the flag (btrfs mount-option clear) and then set the right one.

As user interface I suggest something like chmod:

btrfs mount-option set +ssd,skip_balance -nodatacow /dev/sdX

or

btrfs mount-option set =ssd,skip_balance,nodatacow /dev/sdX

Finally I have some small concern about two macro (see below)

Good point. We should have a way to clear defaults, by "clear" or "set none" or so on.

or

Interesting. I guess you mean that "=<options>" will reset defaults by specified options, while "+<options>" and "-<options>" will be used to add/delete option to/from current defaults.

Re: R: [PATCH 2/2] Btrfs-progs: add mount-option command

Why it was not provided a way to clear a *single* flag ? To me it seems a bit too long to clear all the flag (btrfs mount-option clear) and then set the right one.

As user interface I suggest something like chmod:

btrfs mount-option set +ssd,skip_balance -nodatacow /dev/sdX

or

btrfs mount-option set =ssd,skip_balance,nodatacow /dev/sdX

I agree with the +/-/= syntax, it's quite intuitive and already seen (chattr).

I'd drop the 'set' command here, with some options specified it's implied.

Without any it's 'get'

btrfs mount-option /dev/...

And the 'clear' subcommand could be also dropped with this syntax

btrfs mount-option = /dev/...

:)

BTW, this modifies the defaults only for the unmounted filesystem, but the same should be possible for a mounted one in the future.

This patch adds mount-option command.
The command can set/get default mount options. Now, the command can set/get 24 options. These options are equal to mount options which store in fs_info/mount-opt.

I don't think we need implement a separate command to do this, we can add it into btrfstune just like ext3/4. If so, the users who used ext3/4 before can be familiar with btrfs command as soon as possible.

btrfstune currently only does one thing:

$ sudo btrfstune
usage: btrfstune [options] device
	-S value	enable/disable seeding

To me it'd seem more logical the other way, why not move this operation to

base "btrfs" utility under some command, and remove "btrfstune" completely.

I fully agree. It doesn't make sense to have btrfstune as separate command. Its functionality should be integrate in Hidetoshi's patch: at the end both clear/set some flags.

I am not happy about the "btrfs property *" syntax, however the Hugo suggestion is right: these flags (with the seed one) are filesystem properties, and should be integrated in the Alexander work... However I don't know the status if its patches...
