Currently in Fedora 18, btrfs-progs is the "v0.20-rc1 with git commit id 91d9eec" plus a total of seven patches. Two of those patches from the list which I have already indicated. The rest of those patches have been around for a while (at least since mid 2011) and I cannot find any doc. While I could send them in (and will if needed), I feel a little uneasy since Josef is responsible in Fedora. While this may be a different individual since the email address is different, I suspect this Josef is the same Josef who wrote the other two patches and he may be able to speak to them better. I have been scraping mailing list for all of the btrfs-progs patches and plan to gradually test them. Since it appears you will be doing something similar, if you want to point me to some for testing, I will give it a shot with some virtual and some real-iron testing. And sometimes it is also a matter of the time needed to refit/rebase patches. Gene
