Why the different reported versions? The gentoo btrfs-progs live-git version had a similar problem a month or two ago. Turns out the main repo had changed policy. As explained on the wiki, the master branch updates to latest release (so is basically no different than building from the latest release tarball), and the devel branch (which gentoo had been following) was no longer updated. The devel branch on github (kdave) and repo.or.cz, however, should be current. So if you're running into the same problem gentoo's live-git build did, it's likely because you're building the devel branch cloned from kernel.org, which is no longer updated. Either switch to the github or repo.or.cz mirrors where devel is updated, or switch back to master branch if you prefer to stick with released versions but still want to fetch from git for bisect flexibility, etc, instead of sticking with the release tarballs. Here's the gentoo bug I filed: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562636 ... and the btrfs wiki page describing policy and listing the repos (referenced in the bug as well): https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfs_source_repositories The other possibility is that you're running a stale binary, either a stale distro package binary, or a stale self-built, as there's currently posted patch saying the default-install switched to /usr/ with the switch to autotools, and switches it back to the traditional self-build default- install to /usr/local/. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
