From e1df36d2f18254d0690a0fbe036cece74ec311b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Mason Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2009 09:45:08 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: don't clean old snapshots on sync(1) Cleaning old snapshots can make sync(1) somewhat slow, and some users and applications still use it in a global fsync kind of workload. This patch changes btrfs not to clean old snapshots during sync, which is safe from a FS consistency point of view. The major downside is that it makes it difficult to tell when old snapshots have been reaped and the space they were using has been reclaimed. A new ioctl will be added for this purpose instead.
