Description Eryu Guan 2014-01-13 03:32:41 UTC
Description of problem:
After converting btrfs to raid5 or raid6 profile, btrfs scrub returns non-zero return value, but the output of scrub indicates no errors, dmesg shows no errors either.

Not sure it's a kernel issue or a btrfs-progs issue, take it as btrfs-progs though.

[root@ibm-p750e-02-lp1 profile-conversion]# mkfs -t btrfs -m raid0 -d raid0 -f -K /dev/loop{0..3}

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
btrfs-progs-3.12-1.el7
kernel-3.10.0-64.el7

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkfs -t btrfs -m raid0 -d raid0 -f -K /dev/loop{0..3}
2. mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/btrfs
3. btrfs fi balance start -mconvert=raid5 -dconvert=raid6 /mnt/btrfs
4. btrfs scrub start -B /mnt/btrfs

Actual results:
btrfs scrub returns 3, but no error messages in stderr nor in dmesg

Expected results:
btrfs scrub returns 0 or show some error messages if there're really some errors

Additional info:

Comment 1 Eryu Guan 2014-03-03 09:24:15 UTC
1. mkfs -t btrfs -m raid0 -d raid0 -f -K /dev/loop{0..3}
2. mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/btrfs
3. btrfs fi balance start -mconvert=raid5 -dconvert=raid5 /mnt/btrfs
4. btrfs scrub start -B /mnt/btrfs

Still fails with btrfs-progs-3.12-4.el7

This patch can be applied to btrfs-next, and it should can fix your problem, i'd like you can test it before i send this patch out to list.

Thanks for reporting.

Comment 5 Eric Sandeen 2014-07-17 02:59:59 UTC
Note, FJ has sent a patchset for this:

[PATCH 1/4] btrfs-progs: adjust the return values for scrub

Comment 6 Eric Sandeen 2014-10-15 23:13:31 UTC
Fixed in v3.16 with:
965cd86 btrfs-progs: adjust the return values for scrub

Closing this and others with NEXTRELEASE since it's part of a rebase, but if you prefer we can re-open, get all the acks, and add it to the errata.  I'm not sure if that's worth it, but if you want to, please let me know.

Thanks,
-Eric

Comment 7 Eric Sandeen 2014-10-15 23:18:14 UTC
Actually, probably better to dup to the rebase bug.
