NAME
|
|
----
|
|
btrfs - a toolbox to manage btrfs filesystems
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
*btrfs* <command> [<args>]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
The *btrfs* utility is a toolbox for managing btrfs filesystems. There are
|
|
command groups to work with subvolumes, devices, for whole filesystem or other
|
|
specific actions. See section *COMMANDS*.
|
|
|
|
There are also standalone tools for some tasks like *btrfs-convert* or
|
|
*btrfstune* that were separate historically and/or haven't been merged to the
|
|
main utility. See section 'STANDALONE TOOLS' for more details.
|
|
|
|
COMMAND SYNTAX
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Any command name can be shortened as far as it stays unambiguous,
|
|
however it is recommended to use full command names in scripts.
|
|
All command groups have their manual page named *btrfs-<group>*.
|
|
|
|
For example: it is possible to run *btrfs sub snaps* instead of
|
|
*btrfs subvolume snapshot*.
|
|
But *btrfs file s* is not allowed, because *file s* may be interpreted
|
|
both as *filesystem show* and as *filesystem sync*.
|
|
|
|
If the command name is ambiguous, the list of conflicting options is
|
|
printed.
|
|
|
|
For an overview of a given command use 'btrfs command --help'
|
|
or 'btrfs [command...] --help --full' to print all available options.
|
|
|
|

STANDALONE TOOLS
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
There are several standalone tools to provide certain functionality. If the
|
|
functionality proves to be useful, the standalone tools are declared obsolete
|
|
and their functionality copied to the main tool. The deprecation period is long
|
|
(years) and the obsolete binaries are still provided.
|
|
|
|
Tools that are still in active use without an equivalent in *btrfs*:
|
|
|
|
*btrfs-convert*:: in-place conversion from ext2/3/4 filesystems to btrfs
|
|
*btrfstune*:: tweak some filesystem properties on a unmounted filesystem
|
|
*btrfs-select-super*:: rescue tool to overwrite primary superblock from a spare copy
|
|
*btrfs-find-root*:: rescue helper to find tree roots in a filesystem
|
|
|
|
Deprecated and obsolete tools:
|
|
|
|
*btrfs-debug-tree*:: moved to *btrfs inspect-internal dump-tree*
|
|
*btrfs-show-super*:: moved to *btrfs inspect-internal dump-super*
|
|
*btrfs-zero-log*:: moved to *btrfs rescue zero-log*
|
|
|
|
