Re: "btrfs filesystem label" command

[Goffredo Baroncelli]

Hi,

I suppose that you are familiar with 'git' and the standard unix command
(like cd, make...). The quick way is the following:

$ cd /tmp
$ git clone -b label \
	http://cassiopea.homelinux.net/git/btrfs-progs-unstable.git
$ cd btrfs-progs-unstable.git
$ make
$ ./btrfs


Hoping that this may help you

For the life of me, I can't quite figure out what the process would be to download the btrfs-progs sources and apply your patch and use the command. Can you point me in the right direction?

Yes, this patch was merged and is in the "tmp" branch of the main
btrfs-prog git repository [*]. Unfortunately this brach doesn't even
compile (or almost it gives me an error). I don't know when it will be
available.
