Thanks for your message. As a person who has never used rsync, borg etc this seems a bit overwhelming for me right at the moment. I happened to just read your thread about a btrfs problem you were encountering yourself Btrfs filesystem on primary machine completely destroyed itself, secondary in the process of dying ð - #21 by pavinjoseph. In the thread you mention âTransactional Updateâ, I do not know what this really is and will have to read more about it but have a starting note now.
Would you recommend setting âTransactional Updateâ up immediately on a new OS installation with btrfs?
Also on a new OS installation can you drop a few hints for me to take down on things such as quotas off and so on that one would want to do fairly immediately? I am asking this because I do want to learn how to install a new btrfs filesystem and am now considering a fresh install also but would be a drive short for my backup solution if things go wrong when doing either or. I have learned that without a backup and running a full balance it can create alot of problems. Obviously in my case of cloning back and forth between them with Clonezilla the problem was created it seems.
I understand now that by using Clonezilla with Partclone is what most likely caused the problem I am experiencing with full btrfs balance now. Looking at the openSUSE Wiki and searching for btrfs . No warnings really show suggesting a person might consider shying away from Clonezilla . Would it be a bad thing if something like that was on there (or could it upset the wrong people)? Either way I have created a bug report on bugzilla of my issue before asking here. The link is here for any reference to this post: 1219539 â btrfs --check result in a coredump
The bug report may be not the best and I do not know if it could eventually lead anywhere.
Hey, also if you see this. You aware if there a chart of the btrfs balance errors out there? As mine is -30
Best Wishes
