CONTENTS
2/17
1. Jointly developed by Oracle, Red Hat, Intel and many others.
2. Btrfs is a new copy on write(cow) file system.
3. The max no. of file is 2^64 and max file length is 255 character.
4. Btrfs is intended to address the lack of snapshots, checksums in Linux file system.
5. Btrfs does allow for Defragmentation.
INTRODUCTION
3/17
1. Btrfs was proposed by IBM researcher Ohad Rodeh in 2007.
2. Btrfs 1.0 was released in 2008 as a trial version.
3. Btrfs was accepted in Linux kernel as of 2.6.29 in 2009.
4. In 2011 defragmentation features were announced for the Linux 3.0 kernel version.
5. In 2012 Btrfs 3.0 was released.
6. Now Oracle,Red Hat,Intel and others are working more in Btrfs.
HISTORY
4/17
1. a file system is used to control how data is stored and retrieved.
2. Linux supports 140 file system.
3. Three popular file systems are EXT4[17],ZFS[5],and BTRFS[3].
File System
5/17
1. Incremental backup
2. defragmentation
3. Online volume growth and shrinking
4. Subvolumes
5. Snapshots
6. File cloning
7. Online filesystem check
FEATURES

Cloning of B-Tree

-Every leaf and node begins with header
//Node : struct btrfs_node { struct btrfs_header header ; struct btrfs_key_ptr ptrs [ ] ; } // Leaf : struct btrfs_leaf { struct btrfs_header header ; struct btrfs_item items [ ] ; }

COMPARISON WITH OTHER FILE SYSTEM
(Data organization in old-school filesystems)11/17
(Data organization in Btrfs)12/17
1. Transactions
(a) Btrfs supports limited transactions without Atomicity-Consistency-Isolation-Durability semantics.
(b) Only one transaction may run at a time which is not atomic wrt storage.
2. Checking and recovery
LIMITATIONS
13/17
1. Encryption
2. Data Deduplication
3. Ability to handle swap
4. Parity Based RAID(RAID5 and RAID6)
Future Development
14/17
Btrfs provides few very unique and interesting features but is still under heavy development efforts and is in experimental state.
Although a very feature enrich file system but is still very young to be used in a real production environment. Also Btrfs is maturing into a stable high performance file system. Worth keeping a close watch on development.
