NAME
btrfs-qgroup - control the quota group of a btrfs filesystem
SYNOPSIS
btrfs qgroup <subcommand> <args>
DESCRIPTION
btrfs qgroup is used to control quota group (qgroup) of a btrfs
filesystem.
Note
To use qgroup you need to enable quota first using btrfs quota
enable command.
Warning
Qgroup is not stable yet and will impact performance in current
mainline kernel (v3.14 so far).
QGROUP
Quota groups or qgroup in btrfs make a tree hierarchy, the leaf qgroups
are attached to subvolumes. The size limits are set per qgroup and
apply when any limit is reached in tree that contains a given
subvolume.
The limits are separated between shared and exclusive and reflect the
extent ownership. For example a fresh snapshot shares almost all the
blocks with the original subvolume, new writes to either subvolume will
raise towards the exclusive limit.
The qgroup identifiers conform to level/id where level 0 is reserved to
the qgroups associated with subvolumes. Such qgroups are created
automatically.
The qgroup hierarchy is built by commands create and assign.
Note
If the qgroup of a subvolume is destroyed, quota about the
subvolume will not be functional until qgroup 0/<subvolume id> is
created again.
SUBCOMMAND
assign [options] <src> <dst> <path>
Assign qgroup <src> as the child qgroup of <dst> in the btrfs
filesystem identified by <path>.
Options
--rescan
Automatically schedule quota rescan if the new qgroup
assignment leads to quota inconsistency.
--no-rescan
Explicitly ask not to do a rescan.
create <qgroupid> <path>
Create a subvolume quota group.
For the 0/<subvolume id> qgroup, a qgroup can be created even
before the subvolume created.
destroy <qgroupid> <path>
Destroy a qgroup.
If a qgroup is no isolated,which means it is a parent or child
qgroup, it can't be destroyed.
limit [options] <size>|none [<qgroupid>] <path>
Limit the size of a qgroup to <size> or no limit in the btrfs
filesystem identified by <path>.
If <qgroupid> is not given, qgroup of the subvolume identified by
<path> is used if possible.
Options
-c
limit amount of data after compression. This is the default, it
is currently not possible to turn off this option.
-e
limit space exclusively assigned to this qgroup.
remove <src> <dst> <path>
Remove the relationship between child qgroup <src> and parent
qgroup <dst> in the btrfs filesystem identified by <path>.
show [options] <path>
Show all qgroups in the btrfs filesystem identified by <path>.
Options
-p
print parent qgroup id.
-c
print child qgroup id.
-r
print limit of referenced size of qgroup.
-e
print limit of exclusive size of qgroup.
-F
list all qgroups which impact the given path(include ancestral
qgroups)
-f
list all qgroups which impact the given path(exclude ancestral
qgroups)
--raw
raw numbers in bytes, without the B suffix.
--human-readable
print human friendly numbers, base 1024, this is the default
--iec
select the 1024 base for the following options, according to
the IEC standard.
--si
select the 1000 base for the following options, according to
the SI standard.
--kbytes
show sizes in KiB, or kB with --si.
--mbytes
show sizes in MiB, or MB with --si.
--gbytes
show sizes in GiB, or GB with --si.
--tbytes
show sizes in TiB, or TB with --si.
--sort=[+/-]<attr>[,[+/-]<attr>]...
list qgroups in order of <attr>.
<attr> can be one or more of
qgroupid,rfer,excl,max_rfer,max_excl.
Prefix '+' means ascending order and '-' means descending order
of <attr>. If no prefix is given, use ascending order by
default.
If multiple <attr>s is given, use comma to separate.
EXIT STATUS
btrfs qgroup returns a zero exit status if it succeeds. Non zero is returned in case of failure.
AVAILABILITY
btrfs is part of btrfs-progs. Please refer to the btrfs wiki http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org for further details.
