That's much better. There's now only 6GiB unused data chunks, and there's no point doing a more aggressive balance for that anyway. I could even have done -dusage=5 or 10 and any future concern would be gone.

IMHO this post of yours should be part of the btrfs-man-page, the upstream btrfs wiki, and the opensuse btrfs wiki page.
B/C in the manpage there are to little recipies for desaster recovery like you have shown here.
The inclusion of recipies like this, in the aforementioned places would enable help-searching users to FIND this information (please mention a date and kernelversion for easier maintainance).
It's not concise enough for that in my opinion. Plus there so much heavy development in Btrfs now that anything said about it can be obsolete quickly. If it were possible to not only date content, but set an expiration date for it in advance, then that'd be helpful. Stale content can get people into trouble, and it leads to confusion. My suggestion is the bulk of this should be on the Btrfs wiki. Like all things open source that wiki is a volunteer effort. Maybe it needs some reorganization, and indexing, just because of the way it's grown. And then add an examples page. A slight bit of difficulty is upstream is on very new kernels and btrfs-progs, and while important bug fixes are backported, new features may not be. So there can sometimes be considerable differences in behavior just due to versions. What would be great, would be to have the organization such that a subset of upstream pages have content that are very user focused, that apply to all distributions, and then distributions can "subscribe" to that content. It's completely reasonable that most openSUSE users will want to use primarily openSUSE documentation and resources, rather than having to scour the net finding various upstreams for reliable information. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
