Hello Wang,

I am on Fedora 19. I just checked, I don't have -f as option in
btrfs-progs. The installed version is:

btrfs-progs.x86_64                  3.12-1.fc18         @updates

current kernel is 3.11.9-100.fc18.x86_64

I just wanted to know if its not dangerous to have this state of FS
since I will wait for the update to come from the repo rather than build
package myself

Thanks!
