Last time the nocow question popped up, I sent this workaround,

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/17351
(whole thread http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/17351)

which now seems to be the way to go (as removing the checksums from
existing file is not that easy).

Good to see the NOCOW support going to lsattr/chattr.
