A cheatsheet for using btrfs.

The primary goal of this module is to be able to inspect the internals of a mounted, online, filesystem for educational purposes.

A second goal is to provide a nicer way for automating administration tasks and writing monitoring scripts by being able to just programmatically access the needed information, instead of having to spend most of the time on parsing human readable output from other btrfs tools.

The python module acts as a wrapper around the low level kernel calls and btrfs data structures, presenting them as python objects with interesting attributes and references to other objects.

This is a set of scripts supplementing the btrfs filesystem and aims to automate a few maintenance tasks. This means the scrub, balance, trim or defragmentation.

Each of the tasks can be turned on/off and configured independently. The default config values were selected to fit the default installation profile with btrfs on the root filesystem.

Overall tuning of the default values should give a good balance between effects of the tasks and low impact of other work on the system. If this does not fit your needs, please adjust the settings.

It's in the AUR, too.
