To add a 10% tolerance for btrfs was a bad idea. Since the output of df(1) is not yet reliable on btrfs volumes while data is not flushed to disk, the better implementation would be to either let this test fail, or to force a flush to disk before taking the output of df(1). The latter is what I have implemented now. This is a demo of what currently happens: # mkfs.btrfs -b 2048M --mixed $SCRATCH_DEV WARNING! - Btrfs v0.19-104-gd0fa1a8-dirty IS EXPERIMENTAL WARNING! - see http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org before using Created a data/metadata chunk of size 8388608 fs created label (null) on /dev/sdu1 nodesize 4096 leafsize 4096 sectorsize 4096 size 2.00GB Btrfs v0.19-104-gd0fa1a8-dirty # mount $SCRATCH_DEV $SCRATCH_MNT # df -k $SCRATCH_MNT Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sdu1 2097152 28 2093040 1% /mnt3 # dd if=/dev/zero of=$SCRATCH_MNT/foo bs=1M dd: writing `/mnt3/foo': No space left on device 1881+0 records in 1880+0 records out 1971322880 bytes (2.0 GB) copied, 7.61947 s, 259 MB/s # df -k $SCRATCH_MNT Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sdu1 2097152 756 2092304 1% /mnt3 # sync # df -k $SCRATCH_MNT Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sdu1 2097152 1928420 164640 93% /mnt3 # rm -f $SCRATCH_MNT/foo # df -k $SCRATCH_MNT Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sdu1 2097152 1928420 164640 93% /mnt3 # sync # df -k $SCRATCH_MNT Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sdu1 2097152 676 2092384 1% /mnt3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
