btrfs-progs v6.5.2 was released yesterday.
Changelog[edit | edit source]
New features:
- raid-stripe-tree, new tree to track extent mapping for raid profiles, allows raid1*, raid0 and raid10 on zoned devices (kernel 6.7)
- simple quotas, simplified accounting that does not track exclusive and shared extents (kernel 6.7)
- mkfs with duplicate UUID on a single device, temp-fsid (kernel 6.7)
- metadata_uuid: enhanced capabilities to repair partially updated fsid on multiple devices
Other:
- updated tests and CI
- sync sources with kernel
Other notable changes of the 6.5 series are:
- crc32c implementation speedup (3x)
- check: verify metadata item level when skinny-metadata is enabled
- build fixes: detect if PCLMUL feature is recognized by compiler and also detect that at runtime
- libbtrfs: fix ABI breakage introduced in 6.3.1, revert struct subvol_info and subvol_uuid_search changes
- experimental feature updates (json, list-chunks, checksum switch)
Static Builds[edit | edit source]
As usual there is a static build available, both at https://github.com/kdave/btrfs-progs/releases and at my own mirror https://mirrors.tnonline.net/btrfs/btrfs-progs/
Static builds can run without installation on any x86_64 Linux system as they have no runtime dependencies other than the Linux kernel.
For more information about static builds, check out the dedicate wiki page Btrfs/Statically_built_btrfs-progs
