Re: [bug] mkfs.btrfs reports device busy for ext4 mounted disk

btrfs-progs shouldn't be unconditionally trusting the backup superblocks
if the primary is garbage.  It should only check the backups if the user
specifically asks it to.

Agreed. Let me add that all the rescue tools should accept a parameter
to pick the backup superblocks. Currently fsck -s, select-super -s,
restore -u (though I'd like see all the option names unified, 'S' is my
candidate that would not break compatibility).


  Thank You. Have sent out a patch on this thread for your kind review.
