Awesome Tom! Any idea on the next proper release that will include it?

Thanks Tom, I appreciate you taking a look. This isn’t time sensitive, just a wish list item I guess. Let me know if there is any testing I can do to help out with.

I’m an idiot guys, I apologize. There is still an issue, but the video and error messages are no longer relevant. For some reason my /images directory got deleted, I think because I was changing my image names around. I was digging in the logs and caught it. I re-created the image and was able to pull a BTRFS image using the mulitple disk option again.

My original question still exists though, using the DD or multiple methods, the images take a long time. Using the multiple partition method grabs the partition using “raw.” Is there anyway to grab a btrfs partition so that partclone is FS aware? Like ext4 is done currently?

I’m running Fog v1.2.0 on Ubuntu 14.04. I believe that is the latest from the sourceforge downloads.

Also, I noticed in an older btrfs post, blkid was asked for so here it is along with some other stuff.

I’m willing to be a tester if there is anything I can do. Currently the errors fly by in such quantity and speed I couldn’t snap screenshots fast enough so I made a video. I hope it helps.

Ultimately, partclone keeps erroring out and looping without ever ending.

Yes, I had used fdisk to create a partition for the btrfs FS. The layout was like this --> sda1(7G)btrfs and sda2(1G)swap. I’m little confused on the partprobe part you mention. The test machine was a working and booting Arch Linux installation. So I guess yeah, the kernel can boot the FS just fine. Is there something else I’m missing there?

One thing I have noticed between my ext4 and btrfs test machines is when I go into the “Client System Information” option and select “Partition Information,” the ext4 system shows ext4 under the File system whereas it is blank when checking the btrfs system.

Also, I’ve noticed when trying to run the “multiple partitions - single disk” option for upload on the btrfs system, I get scripting loops that seem to error finding any valid partition. I was able to grab somewhat of a screenshot for reference. Possible a scripting error?

Hi guys, I was wondering if there was anyway to get the “single disk - resizable” option to work for btrfs based partitions. I’ve tested with whole disks, ie; mkfs.btrfs /dev/sda, as well as just partitions, ie; mkfs.btrfs /dev/sda1 and both times I get a “unknown partition” error.

Using the other “not resizable” and DD options I can get an image. But they take an hour to run. Running a test on a similarly built ext4 based partition, an image takes about 1 minute and is considerably smaller in size.

I’m pretty new to FOG management, so maybe there is an advanced option I can pass along in the web gui for btrfs based disks? Let me know if there is any type of info I can pass along that would help. Thanks!
