I see. Well perhaps rsync isn't the tool I need. Maybe I should look at other methods to accomplish my goal. This is what I'm trying to do:

I have a production nfs server (nfs01) which shares one particular filesystem with our development environment. We have a requirement to segregate our prod and dev environments so I've stood up a second nfs server just for the dev environment (nfs02). Now I need to migrate my entire /bannertreedev on nfs01 to /bannertreedev on nfs02. As a note nfs01:/bannertreedev is a logical volume as is the one on nfs02.

As you can see, I figured I could just create the filesystem on nfs02 and rsync it. I was suprised by the size difference. I'm reasonable sure all my data transfered but I had not planned on such a difference. I may need to increase the size of the LV on nfs02.

Perhaps someone could suggest an alternate method? I'm also trying to prevent any downtime to nfs01.

btrfsctl

BTRFSCTL(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       BTRFSCTL(8)

NAME

       btrfsctl - control a btrfs filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       btrfsctl  [  -d file|directory  ] [ -s snapshot-name directory ] [  -S subvolume-name directory ] [  -r [+-]size ] [  -A device ] [  -a ] [
       -c ]

DESCRIPTION

       btrfsctl is used to control the filesystem and the files and directories stored. It is the tool to create a new snapshot for  the  filesys-
       tem.

OPTIONS

       -d file|directory
	      Defragment a file or a directory. If the argument is a directory, the entire b-tree under the directory is defragged.

       -s snapshot-name directory
	      Creates a new snapshot of the directory specified.

       -S subvolume-name directory
	      Creates a new subvolume.

       -r [+|-]size
	      Resizes  the  filesystem	with  the  size  specified.  If the value is preceded with a signed symbol, the filesystem is resized with
	      respect to the current filesystem size. size can be suffixed by k,m or g to represent kilobytes,	megabytes,  or	gigabytes  respec-
	      tively.

       -A device
	      Scans the device for btrfs filesystem.

       -a     Scans all devices present in the system for btrfs filesystem.

       -c     Forces a filesystem sync.

AVAILABILITY

       btrfsctl  is  part  of  btrfs-progs.  Btrfs is currently under heavy development, and not suitable for any uses other than benchmarking and
       review.	Please refer to the btrfs wiki http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org for further details.
