[PATCH 0/2] add progress indicator to btrfs-convert

[Silvio Fricke <silvio.fricke@gmail.com>]

Hi btrfs-ml,

I have tried a ext4->btrfs conversation of a 1TB (90%full) and have seen that
btrfs has no progressbar or something like that. Furthermore I have found [1] a
project idea for this.

I have tried a generic tasklet-based solution to print the status of the
convert-process. Maybe it looks good to you than please add this to your repo.
I have implemented this with the linux specific timerfd facility. To enable
this you haver to use the '-p' option.

I have noticed that a conversation doesn't show all inodes as converted at the
end. How can I improve this? A complete convert-process is showd here:

	sfr@devhost ./btrfs-progs % ./btrfs-convert -p /dev/sde4
	creating btrfs metadata.
	copy inodes [o] [        96/       106]
	creating ext2fs image file.
	cleaning up system chunk.
	conversion complete.

Bye and thanks,
Silvio
