Cool.

I've upgraded to the Ubuntu Precise kernel which looks to be 3.2.6 with
btrfs-tools 0.19+20100601-3ubuntu3 so that would look like a btrfs-progs
snapshot from 2010-06-01 and (unsurprisingly) I don't see the -M option
in mkfs.btrfs.

So I went digging and I just wanted to verify what I think I am seeing.

Looking at

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=commit;h=67377734fd24c32cbdfeb697c2e2bd7fed519e75

it would appear that the mixed data+metadata code landed in the kernel
back in Sep, of 2010, is that correct?

And looking at

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-progs.git;a=commit;h=b8802ae3fa0c70d4cfc3287ed07479925973b0ac

the userspace support for this landed in Dec. of 2010, is that right?

If my archeology is correct, then I only need to update my btrfs-tools,
yes?  Is  2010-06-01 really the last time the tools were considered
stable or are Ubuntu just being conservative and/or lazy about updating?

Cheers,
b.
