How To Install btrfsmaintenance on Fedora 34
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install btrfsmaintenance on Fedora 34.
What is btrfsmaintenance
Scripts for btrfs maintenance tasks like periodic scrub, balance, trim or defrag on selected mountpoints or directories. This is a set of scripts supplementing the btrfs filesystem and aims to automate a few maintenance tasks. This means the scrub, balance, trim or defragmentation. Each of the tasks can be turned on/off and configured independently. The default config values were selected to fit the default installation profile with btrfs on the root filesystem. Overall tuning of the default values should give a good balance between effects of the tasks and low impact of other work on the system. If this does not fit your needs, please adjust the settings.
