[pve-devel] better BTRFS integration

[pve-devel] better BTRFS integration

[Udo Rader]

Hi,

I have been using PVE with BTRFS as root on some nodes for some time now and all in all it seems to work quite well. What is missing, however, is a deeper integration into the user interface, for example.

Browsing through the ML archives, I see that every now and then something has been done to fix minor BTRFS issues and add features, but as far as I can tell, no further attempts have been made recently to fully integrate it into the UI and/or backend API.

Although I'm no BTRFS expert, I'm still tempted to improve this situation by adding the necessary code for the user interface and backend. I have contributed a few things in the past, such as the ISCSI ILO plugin, so I am generally familiar with the PVE sources, though not really in detail anymore. What I would like, for example, would be an integration into the UI + API as for ZFS, i.e. at least the display of existing BTRFS devices, profiles etc., but ideally of course also the creation and editing of existing BTRFS profiles.

But before I jump into it, I'd like to know if anyone else has worked on this or is currently working on this, as there's no point in duplicating work. Or maybe it's on the roadmap for the next version anyway :D

BR Udo
