[As Hugo wrote, use --mixed in that case] The underlying reason why it fails is that 256M is a size of some internal structure. If the size is smaller, filesystem will not set up itself, then the mount fails. And mount interprets this as if the filesystem was not there and tries next one. david -- 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
