<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hej fellow guixers,</p> <p>TL;DR: Do you (can you) successfully run <code>btrfs check</code> on your system partition (assuming it's btrfs)? How do you maintain your btrfs system partitions?</p> <p>First off, I hope you don't feel me abusing this subreddit as my thought toilet. I am in a rather lengthy process trying to get everything about my machine "right". I have been struggling for months with a new build that crashed way too often (bought in march this year), and many things have turned out rather nicely.</p> <p>However, I have yet to have a successful run of <code>btrfs check</code> on my system partition - unmounted, executed from another distro -, which I find rather frightening. I always run into problems with the fs roots (step 4/7). They say that some of the files have either the wrong size or that they link nowhere. A majority of the files can either not be found (i.e. orphaned, right?) or points to <code>/run/udev/data</code>, which, I have been told, is part of the kernel doing its job.</p> <p>A good soul on <a href="/r/btrfs">r/btrfs</a> has told me that the code of <code>btrfs check</code> is rather new and that I shouldn't be worried as long as <code>btrfs scrub</code> runs fine (it does, no problems so far). However, after those months of frequent crashes - in the end due to automatic BIOS-enabled overclocking -, I am a bit less secure than I might be under "normal" circumstances.</p> <p>This brings me to the following questions:</p> <ul> <li>which partition type do you use for your guix system partition, and why?</li> <li>if you use btrfs for your system partition, can you run <code>btrfs check</code> successfully (e.g. from another distro on the same machine or a disk image)?</li> <li>if you use btrfs for your system partition, how does your "usual" maintenance routine look like?</li> </ul> <p>Have a good day, fellow humans :)</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/olivuser"> /u/olivuser </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/GUIX/comments/qe7sd8/btrfs_maintenance_on_guix_system_partition/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/GUIX/comments/qe7sd8/btrfs_maintenance_on_guix_system_partition/">[comments]</a></span> |
