btrfs-property - get/set/list properties for given btrfs object.
btrfs property <subcommand> <args>
btrfs property is used to get/set/list property for given btrfs
object. See the description of get subcommand for more information
about both btrfs object and property.
btrfs property provides an unified and user-friendly method to tune
different btrfs properties instead of using the traditional method
like chattr(1) or lsattr(1).
get [-t <type>] <object> [<name>]
Gets a property from a btrfs object.
A btrfs object, which is set by <object>, can be a btrfs
filesystem itself, a btrfs subvolume, an inode(file or directory)
inside btrfs, or a device on which a btrfs exists.
The option -t can be used to explicitly specify what type of
object you meant. This is only needed when a property could be
set for more then one object type.
Possible types are s[ubvol], f[ilesystem], i[node] and d[evice].
Set the name of property by name. If no name is specified, all
properties for the given object are printed. name is one of the
followings.
ro
read-only flag of subvolume: true or false
label
label of device
compression
compression setting for an inode: lzo, zlib, or "" (empty
string)
list [-t <type>] <object>
Lists available properties with their descriptions for the given
object.
See the description of get subcommand for the meaning of each
option.
set [-t <type>] <object> <name> <value>
Sets a property on a btrfs object.
See the description of get subcommand for the meaning of each
option.
btrfs property returns a zero exit status if it succeeds. Non zero is
returned in case of failure.
