Some btrfs-tools make use of "/dev/btrfs-control".

How should I create this node? Is this a block or a character device (I suppose
it should be a character device), which major and minor numbers should be
assigned?

I do not use udev, so I have to create all device nodes "by hand" or "by
script".

I started using btrfs with the arrival of kernel 2.6.32 - no problems until
now! :-) I'm very interested in using its snapshot feature. Currently I'm not
able to mount a snapshot (subvolume), but this might be connected to the
missing device-node.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Michael
