Thanks for the comments. V2 is out. Here I followed the choice #1 as review suggested. which is to update the error code. However I have them in uapi/linux/btrfs.h (not in errno.h though I meant it to be there in the first place). pls do let me know your review comments.

As showed in the previous email in this thread, we need to get the error string from the kernel to the cli to improve the usability of the product. As also said, I was looking at two way which I think we could do this, here I take the 2nd approach which is to pass the error string though the ioctl args. Which leads to change in the ioctl-structure. But.. This comes with a caveat that both btrfs-progs and btrfs-kernel patch together either must be applied or removed. [PATCH] btrfs-progs: device delete to get errors from the kernel [PATCH] btrfs: device delete to get errors from the kernel Which is not a developer/integrator friendly rule. If there is anything I could do to help on this pls do let me know. There are quite a number of cli which needs passing of the the error string from the kernel to cli. Which I plan to work once we finalize the approach to address this issue. Thanks for your time to review this. Anand
