I try to install bees but ther isn't a a guide exept on githup, how ever i cant understand what I soppose to do
The guide provide two option DIY or using the installation script so not wanting to misconfigure anything so i go with for the script
Ecept the script dont work out of the box and i cant find a guide
runing the sript require the UUID of the filesystem(by reading the install script)(will return error for there is no config file)
rename the default config /etc/bees/beesd.conf.sample to root.conf(need to match *.conf) and adding
UUID=220a3d4d-ae3d-4032-bf64-72c9680de52d
enable beesd@220a3d4d-ae3d-4032-bf64-72c9680de52d
and it run with out error. However,
sudo btrfs filesystem show / 10:49
Label: none uuid: 220a3d4d-ae3d-4032-bf64-72c9680de52d
Total devices 1 FS bytes used 207.16GiB #this number decrease by a few G
devid 1 size 952.85GiB used 254.06GiB path /dev/mapper/root #and this one increase by a few G
and my system become very slow (renameing a file may take ~ 20sec open browser or wakeup+unlock may take forever)
and my soulution was to disable the service and run btrfs blance + scrub + defragment(which give no error and somewhat fix the problem, but while running them my system also seem to slow down)
note: I just assume that it is the filesystem that slowdown

Did you install the bees repo package ?
If not, please explain .
Welcome to archlinux forums.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

bees is a https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Btrfs#Deduplication tool and afaiu the OP isn't happy w/ the impact this has on the system performance
There's gonna be a n overhead
https://github.com/Zygo/bees/blob/maste … md#running
You might actually lose space on the initial run
https://github.com/Zygo/bees/blob/maste … #snapshots
And there could be bugs

OP, Zygo is very active on #btrfs on Libera IRC. Please also ask there.

sorry for not rep. I did (a few week ago) reinstalling the arch twice same as last time mostly because of my buggy hardrive https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=303230 which I now use raid 1
and yes the same issue appear(noerror+slowdown+increase disk size)again and i did not run balance or scrub at that time
and no balance doesn't complitely fix it; scrub,fsck doesn't do anything(I think)
I didnt keep any log, ¯\(ツ)/¯
I install arch again to raid 1 with an external dirve without bees, which turnout doesn't need reinstalling but a degrade mount flag.
