Shame on you for defending btrfs!

🐿️alright, turns out we couldn't format it to btrfs because we hadn't installed btrfs-progs (arch moment) so now that that's installed I'm having no problems downloading and installing steam games there, they're running fine and everything. better luck next time sam altman

for example today I learnt about btrfs balance. pretty interesting

woulda been useless probably, btrfs has copy-on-write which probably turned the disk into a jumbled mess, and btrfs check, rescue and even tesdisk couldn't restore the parts

I just learned the other day that I need to periodically re-balance the btrfs tables and like, come on now, I thought we left that behind with spinning disks

If I'm gonna be working with limited hardware, I believe Arch Linux w/ BTRFS Snapshots & rollbacks is my best bet, alongside some optimization.

Si c'est un filesystem BTRFS (de mémoire le filesystem par défaut de Bazzite), une compression du dossier common voire du dossier /.steam entier permettrait de récupérer de l'espace et débloquer la situation :p
sudo btrfs filesystem defragment -r -v -czstd /home/<toi>/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/
sudo btrfs filesystem defragment -r -v -czstd /home/<toi>/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/

And whatever you do don't try getting btrfs to mount in windows. Penguins will try and eat your cat if you do.

...... what do you MEAN my /home is formatted as ext4 and not btrfs

yeah that makes sense. Those file systems dont have this link function? But im on btrfs so its all good

Correction to my tip: btrfs has no import step. `btrfs filesystem show` only lists filesystems and their disks, handy to check all drives are seen. Then mount it as usual; if it reports a missing device, run `btrfs device scan` first.

coral tip: p much all da issues with adding an exfat steam library on linux can be sidestepped if you set your external drive to be a folder on your main ext4/btrfs/whatevr drive and replace the common folder with a symlink to a folder on the exfat drive

(There's also a slop testing VM in there, because I started developing this on a laptop with pretty small disk that is therefore formatted ext4 because neither zfs nor btrfs are particularly happy about running low on disk space. And I didn't want to give the agents sudo...)

df said 63 GB free and root still went read-only. btrfs ran out of metadata, not data — and deleting files won't fix it. The escape flag is undocumented.

6) Qual è la distribuzione migliore?
7) Ma devo mettere l'antivirus?
8) Ma devo imparare a usare la riga di comando?
9) Ma devo usare BTRFS o Ext4?
Domanda bonus: usi Arch? (Vabbè, a questa avrà già risposto)

Current status: My raid array is fixed and it only cost me $20. The agents allege that all the e2e tests pass in an ubuntu vm configured with btrfs and zfs test filesystems (so that I could start testing before the raid array was fixed).

Step 1: start operation on the disk
Step 2: completely forget about the operation because gaming + btrfs has online filesystem shrinking so i don't even notice (u can use it while it's being resized)
Step 3: turn computer off (technically hibernate buuuut close enough)
