My problem is that I have a 2.6.32 kernel and recent changes affecting the btrfs system is not implemented so your repo seems like a life-savior. The only thing is that I am not able to fetch it. I always stuck to fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly Also I wouldn't mind updating the kernel to newer ones although I am not able to find any repositories with .deb files for 2.6.32 and above. The only choise so far is experimental 2.6.36 repo which seems to work but I don't have the linux-kbuild for installing the headers. Thus the idea of building one myself. Any suggestion of how to get the new changes of btrfs on my linux-box would be welcome.
