Description Fabian Köster 2016-10-01 08:19:58 UTC

Because btrfs needs periodic maintenance which is (currently) not being done automatically, it would be nice to have the tools from btrfsmaintenance.

+1

sys-fs/mdadm installs a checkarray cron job, but btrfs has nothing comparable
currently available in Gentoo, despite advice by Google engineers that
"[d]aily or weekly btrfs scrub (..) is a must have with btrfs":

Comment 11 Samuel Bernardo 2017-06-25 20:19:10 UTC

I already created and published an ebuild in my overlay:
https://github.com/samuelbernardo/ssnb-overlay/tree/9ca9fec3fe7d8bab961fdbf8fe8a45c803b1449b/sys-fs/btrfsmaintenance

I only miss the pull request to the gentoo tree. I thought the right way was to publish to my overlay at git.gentoo.org/repo/user/ssnb.git and then gentoo maintainers will push it to main tree if needed.

Thanks for your contribution Samuel.

I think creating a pull request (for the main tree) right away will attract
more attention to these new ebuilds.

Gentoo GitHub guide says that a bug must be filled before creating a PR for a 
new ebuild - that's this bug, so this requirement is already fulfilled.

Github pull request: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/5003

Comment 14 Martin Dummer 2017-07-19 17:08:45 UTC

Github Pull request is merged, package is in tree now, bug can be closed.

Comment 15 Fabian Köster 2017-07-19 17:13:20 UTC

Great job Martin, thanks!
