Missing that is thus likely to be the source of your confusion, which makes it easy to fix. =:^) https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org More specifically of interest for developers: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page#Developer_documentation But as you're a new user as well, and missed the btrfs user docs on the wiki, spend some time looking over them as well, as they'll almost certainly contain some rather useful user information you missed, as well. If OTOH, you meant that you read that, and were still confused, as may be the case give that I too was a bit confused as a list regular, when I was looking for actual development sources, as the kernel.org userspace repo only contains releases, the repo.or.cz repo is what I was looking for to get the actual under development userspace HEAD code. Or just do what I did and browse around a bit until you figure out which of the listed repos you're actually after. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
