Anything with the word "garbage" in it is just yucky; anything with "wait" is revealing an implementation detail that hopefully will change eventually. adding a --wait or --sync switch to the delete command is certainly possible, you'd want to add it to the last in a series of deletes. I don't like "clean" for end-user API because it seems to imply erasing data, like it's going to get overwritten with zeroes or something like that to hide it from forensic analysis. among the listings at http://thesaurus.com/browse/recycle "reclaim" seems best: "salvage" connotes that the thing being salvaged is damaged. Is everyone happy with btrfs filesystem reclaim <path> [ms] then? (I'm pleasantly surprised that I'm not having to defend milliseconds.) -- 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
