I'm attempting to use btrfs with compression on a ~400GiB drive. The drive itself is a hardware RAID5, and has nothing on it. All I've done is simply run mkfs.btrfs on it, and mounted it. When I copy over a particular directory that contains a file that is 1.99GiB, it fails with a message saying "No space left on device". By the time this happens, I'm only using about 6GiB of space on the drive, and it's always this file. It's very perplexing to say the least.

Current test is simply:

Code:
# umount /v_archive
# mkfs.btrfs -f -L v_archive /dev/sdb1
# mount /v_archive
# cp -R /path/to/dir /v_archive/
cp: error writing ‘/v_archive/dir/history.dat’: No space left on device
cp: failed to extend ‘/v_archive/dir/history.dat’: No space left on device


The /etc/fstab string is:
Code:
/dev/sdb1   /v_archive   btrfs   noatime,compress=lzo,autodefrag   0 0


Here's some info from btrfs:

Code:
# btrfs fi df /v_archive/
Data, single: total=6.01GiB, used=3.53GiB
System, DUP: total=8.00MiB, used=16.00KiB
System, single: total=4.00MiB, used=0.00
Metadata, DUP: total=1.00GiB, used=27.22MiB
Metadata, single: total=8.00MiB, used=0.00

# df -h /v_archive
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1       409G  3.6G  403G   1% /v_archive

# btrfs fi show /v_archive
Label: v_archive  uuid: 36b49163-6e03-4999-b393-6a5d8150f1e7
        Total devices 1 FS bytes used 3.56GiB
        devid    1 size 408.37GiB used 8.04GiB path /dev/sdb1

Btrfs v3.12


Server info:
Code:
# uname -a
Linux localhost 3.10.25-gentoo #2 SMP Fri Feb 28 11:35:24 PST 2014 x86_64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5345 @ 2.33GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux


Note: the server is kept up to date weekly, though I'm a little outdated on my kernel right now.

Does anyone have any advice? If I put this in the wrong forum, I do apologize.

Seems like btrfs have troubles with big files - stumbled across this in another part of the forum...

Solved his problem by limiting the transferspeed it seems.

Ugh, that's nasty. My hope with btrfs was to hot copy the data files on the ocfs2 volume to the compressed btrfs volume. I guess I will have to look at something else for the file system that supports compression.

Thanks for the heads up, though.
