Description-en: automate btrfs maintenance tasks on mountpoints or directories
This is a set of scripts for the btrfs filesystem that automates the
following maintenance tasks: scrub, balance, trim, and defragment.
.
Tasks are enabled, disabled, scheduled, and customised from a single
text file. The default configuration assumes an installation profile
where / is a btrfs filesystem.
.
The default values have been chosen as an even compromise between
time to complete maintenance, improvement in filesystem performance,
and minimum impact on other processes. Please note that I/O priority
scheduling requires the use of CFQ, and not noop, deadline,
anticipatory, or blk-mq. CFQ is Debian's default block scheduler.
