Subject: block group tree conversion
Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2023 15:13:20 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e338e8df-b0f4-f25d-0bd7-650d37bd1664@bllue.org> (raw)


I'm reportting my success with converting to blockgroup tree so 
that others may benefit.

running 6.2.7-300.fc38.x86_64 kernel from fedora 38 (in beta), which
a self compiled version of btrfs-progs with --enable-experimental option.

The conversion took around 90 minutes, and the mount time went from around
250 seconds to 5 seconds.

The filesystem is around 600k inodes, 51TB used, and didn't use any 
features like snapshots or compression, and was created with '-O no-holes 
-d single -m raid1' options and is mounted with 
'defaults,noatime,space_cache=v2'.

I hope the experimental flag is dropped soon, so that others can see 
similar mount time improvements.  I can now remove the systemd settings 
override I needed to allow the system to successfully boot up 
(DefaultTimeoutStartSec).

Ken
