I don't see how it can work any other way, but my house plant disagrees and wishes to volunteer doing all of this for you. I don't recommend it because Btrfs developers do not need a smart aleck house plant writing kernel code. > Seems everyone here wants me to figure out everything on my own. By my reading, not everything, but rather specific things. You need a basic common frame of reference before questions and collaboration are workable. What's a car? Why do I need one? Where would I go? Roads? Wait there are other cars? Traffic signals? Insurance? Fuel? Oy this sounds complicated… I don't think I want or need one of these things.
