Hi,
several time ago I posted a patch which addressed this lack of
documentation [1]. Unfortunately when I revised this patch I missed this
chunk, and now Chris merged the last (uncompleted) revision.
So now I am publish a new patch which address this issue.
Chris, if you want you can pull it from
http://cassiopea.homelinux.net/git/btrfs-progs-unstable.git
or browse it at
"http://cassiopea.homelinux.net/git/?p=btrfs-progs-unstable.git;a=summary".
Below the patch.
Regards
G.Baroncelli
