Version: 0.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc v4.1.2 OS: Linux BTRFS is a new advanced filesystem that allows for subvolumes to be mounted to other mount points. I will use my setup as an example and even include a screenshot. I have /dev/hda6 formatted as btrfs. Then I created three subvolumes: repos, portage_tmp, and ccache. Respectively they are mounted to /var/repos, /var/tmp/portage, and /var/tmp/ccache. You can think of subvolumes as like a completely different partition with it's own separate filesystem. The mount command for them are: mount -t btrfs -o subvol=foo /dev/whatever /mount/point So, I would mount one of my partitions as: mount -t btrfs -o subvol=repos /dev/hda6 /var/repos In fstab I have: /dev/hda6 /var/repos btrfs defaults,noatime,subvol=repos 0 2 mstab shows: /dev/hda6 /var/repos btrfs rw,noatime,subvol=repos 0 0 So, adding subvol support can be a less troubling than the other bug I posted in. :P Basically, what I am wishing for is something like this in KDiskView: /dev/hda6 (subvol repos) .... so on normally. Just something to signify what subvol name I am looking at. Maybe even "btrfs subvol" in "Type", but that isn't needed. I think this would mean parsing fstab/mtab for the subvol line. I don't know if BTRFS is the only FS that has subvols, but if there are others, I think they would use this same syntax, so it would support more than just BTRFS. :) The way subvols work, they share the same partition, unless they are given a quota. I have not set up subvol quotas yet, but I think KDF would support that automatically, because it's stored in the subvol part explicitly how big the subvol can be, like a real partition stating how big it can be. For more info on BTRFS, you can go here: http://oss.oracle.com/projects/btrfs/ I hope this was a clear bug report with enough information.
Created attachment 21773 [details] My KDF Setup. This is what my KDF looks like, as you can tell there is no easy way to tell what the name of the subvol is, because in my list in the main post, I have one named "portage_tmp" and that is not visible. This is the same image that I posted in this bug, that I hope gets some attention too, because as you can tell by the screenshot, I have a huge list. :P https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118123 Thanks. :)
