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
minimisation of resources taken from other processes. Please note that I/O
priority scheduling requires the use of BFQ or CFQ, and not noop, deadline,
anticipatory, nor the new mq-deadline which uses blk-mq.
