btrfs-convert(8)
SYNOPSIS 概要
btrfs-convert [options] <device>
btrfs-convert [选项] <设备>
DESCRIPTION 描述
The btrfs-convert tool can be used to convert existing source filesystem
image to a btrfs filesystem in-place. The original filesystem image is
accessible in subvolume named like ext2_saved as file image.
btrfs-convert 工具可用于将现有的源文件系统镜像转换为原地的 btrfs 文件系统。原始文件系统镜像可在名为 ext2_saved 的子卷中访问为文件镜像。
Supported filesystems: 支持的文件系统:
ext2, ext3, ext4 -- original feature, always built in
ext2, ext3, ext4 -- 原始功能,始终内置reiserfs -- since version 4.13, optionally built, requires libreiserfscore 3.6.27
reiserfs -- 自 4.13 版本起,可选构建,需要 libreiserfscore 3.6.27NTFS -- external tool https://github.com/maharmstone/ntfs2btrfs
NTFS -- 外部工具 https://github.com/maharmstone/ntfs2btrfs
The list of supported source filesystem by a given binary is listed at the end
of help (option --help).
给定二进制文件支持的源文件系统列表在帮助的末尾列出(选项 --help)。
Warning 警告
If you are going to perform rollback to the original filesystem, you
should not execute btrfs balance command on the converted filesystem. This
will change the extent layout and make btrfs-convert unable to rollback.
如果您要执行回滚到原始文件系统,则不应在转换后的文件系统上执行 btrfs balance 命令。这将更改范围布局并使 btrfs-convert 无法回滚。
The conversion utilizes free space of the original filesystem. The exact
estimate of the required space cannot be foretold. The final btrfs metadata
might occupy several gigabytes on a hundreds-gigabyte filesystem.
转换利用原始文件系统的空闲空间。所需空间的精确估计无法预测。最终的 btrfs 元数据可能占据数百千字节文件系统上的几千兆字节。
If the ability to rollback is no longer important, the it is recommended to
perform a few more steps to transition the btrfs filesystem to a more compact
layout. This is because the conversion inherits the original data blocks’
fragmentation, and also because the metadata blocks are bound to the original
free space layout.
如果回滚的能力不再重要,则建议执行更多步骤将 btrfs 文件系统转换为更紧凑的布局。这是因为转换继承了原始数据块的碎片化,还因为元数据块绑定到原始的空闲空间布局。
Due to different constraints, it is only possible to convert filesystems that
have a supported data block size (i.e. the same that would be valid for
mkfs.btrfs). This is typically the system page size (4KiB on x86_64
machines).
由于不同的约束,只有支持的数据块大小的文件系统才能进行转换(即适用于 mkfs.btrfs 的大小)。这通常是系统页面大小(在 x86_64 机器上为 4KiB)。
Note 注意
Always consider if a mkfs and file copy would not be a better option than
the in-place conversion given what was said above. The conversion depends on
3rd party libraries and the other filesystems could still evolve and add new
features. Not all combinations are covered or tested.
始终考虑如果 mkfs 和文件复制不是比就地转换更好的选择,考虑到上面所说的。转换取决于第三方库,其他文件系统仍然可能发展并添加新功能。并非所有组合都被覆盖或测试。
BEFORE YOU START 在开始之前
The source filesystem must be clean, e.g. no journal to replay or no repairs
needed. The respective fsck utility must be run on the source filesystem prior
to conversion. Please refer to the manual pages in case you encounter problems.
源文件系统必须是干净的,例如没有要重放的日志或不需要修复。在转换之前必须在源文件系统上运行相应的 fsck 实用程序。如果遇到问题,请参考手册页面。
For ext2/3/4: 对于 ext2/3/4:
# e2fsck -fvy /dev/sdx
For reiserfs: 对于 reiserfs:
# reiserfsck -fy /dev/sdx
Skipping that step could lead to incorrect results on the target filesystem,
but it may work.
跳过该步骤可能导致目标文件系统上的结果不正确,但也可能有效。
REMOVE THE ORIGINAL FILESYSTEM METADATA
删除原始文件系统元数据
By removing the subvolume named like ext2_saved or reiserfs_saved, all
metadata of the original filesystem will be removed:
通过删除类似于 ext2_saved 或 reiserfs_saved 的子卷,将删除原始文件系统的所有元数据:
# btrfs subvolume delete /mnt/ext2_saved
At this point it is not possible to do a rollback. The filesystem is usable but
may be impacted by the fragmentation inherited from the original filesystem.
此时无法执行回滚操作。文件系统可用,但可能受到继承自原始文件系统的碎片化影响。
MAKE FILE DATA MORE CONTIGUOUS
使文件数据更加连续
An optional but recommended step is to run defragmentation on the entire
filesystem. This will attempt to make file extents more contiguous.
一个可选但建议的步骤是在整个文件系统上运行碎片整理。这将尝试使文件范围更加连续。
# btrfs filesystem defrag -v -r -f -t 32M /mnt/btrfs
Verbose recursive defragmentation (-v, -r), flush data per-file (-f) with
target extent size 32MiB (-t).
详细递归碎片整理(-v,-r),每个文件刷新数据(-f),目标范围大小为 32MiB(-t)。
ATTEMPT TO MAKE BTRFS METADATA MORE COMPACT
尝试使 BTRFS 元数据更紧凑
Optional but recommended step.
可选但建议的步骤。
The metadata block groups after conversion may be smaller than the default size
(256MiB or 1GiB). Running a balance will attempt to merge the block groups.
This depends on the free space layout (and fragmentation) and may fail due to
lack of enough work space. This is a soft error leaving the filesystem usable
but the block group layout may remain unchanged.
转换后的元数据块组可能比默认大小(256MiB 或 1GiB)小。运行平衡将尝试合并块组。这取决于空闲空间布局(和碎片化),可能由于缺乏足够的工作空间而失败。这是一个软错误,使文件系统可用,但块组布局可能保持不变。
Note that balance operation takes a lot of time, please see also
btrfs-balance(8).
请注意,平衡操作需要很长时间,请参阅 btrfs-balance(8)。
# btrfs balance start -m /mnt/btrfs
OPTIONS 选项
