I played with btrfs in centos 6.3 and it seemed to mostly work. Now I'm building some new systems with 6.5, where I'd like to have some data disks using btrfs - not the system disk. I can create and fiddle with btrfs filesystems just fine, but attempting to mount them produces an oops. Surfing the Internets has not enlightened me.
I installed btrfs-progs, and can modprobe btrfs, no problem.
This warning appears: [root@h-248-254 ~]# btrfsck /dev/sdb failed to open /dev/btrfs-control skipping device registration
Which I see I can fix with [root@h-248-254 ~]# mknod /dev/btrfs-control c 10 234 [root@h-248-254 ~]# btrfsck /dev/sdb checking extents ...
which makes me think that I'm missing some udev rules? And then for the mount oops I only have a photo, but the call chain is
... bad_area __do_page_fault call_rcu_sched call_rcu do_page_fault page_fault selinux_set_mnt_opts superblock_doinit deactiviate_locked_super selinux_sb_kern_mount security_sb_kern_mount vfs_kern_mount do_kern_mount
I'm not 100% sure this hardware is OK ... but I can do lots of stuff with the btrfs progs and never see any problems.
Can anyone who has this working give me a clue? Thanks.
