When testing under libguestfs, btrfs-convert will never succeed to fix
chunk map, and always fails.

But in that case, it's already a mountable btrfs.
So better to info user with different error message for that case.

The root cause of it is still under investigation.

I've adjusted wording of the error message and applied, thanks. What are
the consequences of the unfinished conversion process when such
filesystem is mounted?

The whole chunk tree will not be in system chunk but metadata chunk, until COW happens.

But the funny thing is, even the system chunk is empty after the convert, with empty bg auto remove in recent kernels, it will try to remove empty system chunk, and cause COW...
And magically, things will become normal again(If chunk tree only has leaf).

Quite tricky to debug why open_ctree() will fail, as libguestfs is such a strange environment, not good method to debug and even no way to use gdb...

Thanks,
Qu
