btrfs-progs-5.11.1

Installation of btrfs-progs

Install btrfs-progs by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --bindir=/bin \
            --libdir=/lib \
            --with-pkgconfigdir=/usr/lib/pkgconfig &&
make

Note

Some tests require grep built with perl regular expressions. To obtain this, rebuild grep with the LFS Chapter 8 instructions after installing PCRE-8.44.

To test the results, first disable one test that fails and prevents the other ones to run:

mv tests/fsck-tests/012-leaf-corruption/test.sh{,.broken}

To test the results, run (as the root user):

make -j1 -k test

Note

If the above mentioned kernel options are not enabled, some tests fail, and prevent all the remaining tests to run, because the test disk image is not cleanly unmounted.

Two tests fail for unknown reasons in the test-libbtrfsutil section. Tests take a very long time, and it may be interesting to run only part of them. Running tests only in one directory can be done with make TEST=<DIR> test.

Install the package as the root user:

make install &&

ln -sfv ../../lib/$(readlink /lib/libbtrfs.so) /usr/lib/libbtrfs.so &&
ln -sfv ../../lib/$(readlink /lib/libbtrfsutil.so) /usr/lib/libbtrfsutil.so &&
rm -fv /lib/libbtrfs.{a,so} /lib/libbtrfsutil.{a,so} &&
mv -v /bin/{mkfs,fsck}.btrfs /sbin
