Subject: Re: [PATCH v4] Btrfs: ability to add label to snapshot and subvol
Date: Fri, 01 Mar 2013 18:36:20 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <513084A4.1050607@oracle.com> (raw)

As long as we integrate, broadcast and use single
keyword for a purpose I am fine with using xattr.
Patch using xattr was posted as well.
Just a note, potential applications using snapshot
label are:
- Yum, btrfs-progs, snapper, btrfs-gui,
Gnome-Nautilus-snapshot-plugin,
enterprise backup-scripts, PHP-scripts using MYsql.

Thanks.
Any comment on the patch titled
Btrfs-progs: add attribute label for subvol and snapshot
will help integration.
