Hi,
I was giving btrfs (2.6.39-rc4) a quick tryout today and noticed some odd behavior when running a rather stupid test.
First, I create a 1GB test fs, format it, and mount it. Then, I run the following command to create a huge file, truncate it, rewrite it, and report what size file got created.
# while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/testfile bs=1024k; done
This is roughly what I see in terms of file size after filtering out all the "dd: writing `/mnt/testfile': No space left on device" messages.
782237696 bytes (782 MB) copied, 16.5647 s, 47.2 MB/s 545259520 bytes (545 MB) copied, 14.061 s, 38.8 MB/s 780140544 bytes (780 MB) copied, 15.2959 s, 51.0 MB/s 933232640 bytes (933 MB) copied, 15.2241 s, 61.3 MB/s 827326464 bytes (827 MB) copied, 14.8383 s, 55.8 MB/s 931135488 bytes (931 MB) copied, 15.1554 s, 61.4 MB/s 936378368 bytes (936 MB) copied, 2.98301 s, 314 MB/s 393216000 bytes (393 MB) copied, 12.9202 s, 30.4 MB/s 387973120 bytes (388 MB) copied, 13.4906 s, 28.8 MB/s 932184064 bytes (932 MB) copied, 15.3356 s, 60.8 MB/s 785383424 bytes (785 MB) copied, 14.6429 s, 53.6 MB/s 927989760 bytes (928 MB) copied, 15.4386 s, 60.1 MB/s 833617920 bytes (834 MB) copied, 14.6289 s, 57.0 MB/s 936378368 bytes (936 MB) copied, 3.33651 s, 281 MB/s 393216000 bytes (393 MB) copied, 12.9689 s, 30.3 MB/s 389021696 bytes (389 MB) copied, 6.02794 s, 64.5 MB/s 294649856 bytes (295 MB) copied, 1.05144 s, 280 MB/s
Strangely, df reports that free space remains, and I can even create a second file to fill the empty space, so clearly the fs isn't full yet. Is this the intended behavior of btrfs? ext4/vfat seem to produce the same size file every time.
