If timeout_in_ms is specified, wait up to that many milliseconds, then exit with status 1 [or whatever code is chosen] if not all space could be freed in that time. Personally, I like "gc" or "clean". "wait-subvolume-deletion", "garbage-collect" or similar is too verbose for my taste. -- Josh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
