Thanks. For now I'd like to gather all the small bugfixes and updates
that are likely not to create any significant conflicts with whatever
Chris has in his tree and skip new features, UI changes or non-obvious
fixes.
Josef Bacik: detect if the disk we are formatting is a ssd V2
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/18749
This is IMO a safe feature, the comments were addressed in the final
patch so we can try to push it.
This one may be a little more of a problem since the suggested man update is
missing and there is a second part for the kernel (status unknown).
Josef Bacik: add btrfs device ready command
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/18129
Since Fedora uses a "stock" a kernel as possible, I suspect the
corresponding patch is applied.
The kernel part of 'device ready' was merged to 3.6.
There are two or three other patches that appear to make sense but I have no
idea if they have been submitted.
Please send them to the list.
Josef Bacik <josef@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> is the current Fedora maintainer as
indicated in bugzilla.
<mailto:josef@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Currently in Fedora 18, btrfs-progs is the "v0.20-rc1 with git commit id
<mailto:josef@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>91d9eec" plus a total of seven patches.
Two of those patches from the list which I have already indicated. The
rest of those patches have been around for a while (at least since mid
2011) and I cannot find any doc.
While I could send them in (and will if needed), I feel a little uneasy
since Josef is responsible in Fedora. While this may be a different
individual since the email address is different, I suspect this Josef is
the same Josef who wrote the other two patches and he may be able to
speak to them better.
I have been scraping mailing list for all of the btrfs-progs patches and
plan to gradually test them. Since it appears you will be doing
something similar, if you want to point me to some for testing, I will
give it a shot with some virtual and some real-iron testing. And
sometimes it is also a matter of the time needed to refit/rebase patches.
