usage: btrfstune [options] device
Tune settings of filesystem features on an unmounted device
Options:
Change feature status:
-r enable extended inode refs (mkfs: extref, for hardlink limits)
-x enable skinny metadata extent refs (mkfs: skinny-metadata)
-n enable no-holes feature (mkfs: no-holes, more efficient sparse file representation)
-S <0|1> set/unset seeding status of a device
--enable-simple-quota enable simple quotas on the file system. (mkfs: squota)
--remove-simple-quota remove simple quotas from the file system.
--convert-to-block-group-tree
convert filesystem to track block groups in the separate block-group-tree instead of extent
tree (sets the incompat bit)
--convert-from-block-group-tree
convert the block group tree back to extent tree (remove the incompat bit)
--convert-to-free-space-tree
convert filesystem to use free space tree (v2 cache)
UUID changes:
-u rewrite fsid, use a random one
-U UUID rewrite fsid to UUID
-m change fsid to a random UUID, copy original fsid into metadata_uuid if it's not NULL, this
is an incompat change (more lightweight than -u|-U)
-M UUID change fsid to UUID, copy original fsid into metadata_uuid if it's not NULL, this is an incompat
change (more lightweight than -u|-U)
General:
-f allow dangerous operations, make sure that you are aware of the dangers
--version print the btrfstune version, builtin features and exit
--help print this help and exit
