But if n-way does show up effectively "tomorrow" (as it would need to, to hit 4.6), I'd suspect someone with some money to spend prioritized it, much as I suspect that's what happened with the crypto patches. Call me a conspiracy nut, but don't be too surprised if someone's introducing some product with btrfs and encrypted subvolumes a year or 18 months from now... I know I won't be! =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
