Aaaaah, that explains why I never got it to work the day I wanted to try
it.
I should note that waht you're saying is neither documented in the man
page, nor in https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfsck
For that matter, the wiki actually states there are no options.
Is that mostly intentional so that whoever isn't reading the source
doesn't really run the tool because it's not ready?
