Dear btrfs community,
I am interested in spare volumes and hot auto-replacement feature [1]. I have a couple of questions:
* Which kernel version this feature will be included?
Probably 4.7. I would not suggest using it in production for at least a
few cycles though (probably 4.9).
I wonder what are the grounds of the prediction, 4.7 is pretty much done
regarding new features. And given the number of other features that are
considered for merge I don't know an ETA. I haven't looked at the
patches yet (but don't know about others).
I was under the impression that you had pulled them into your for-next
branch, and forgot that that would mean probably mean 4.8 at the
earliest, although looking at your tree now, I notice that the only
patch from the series there is the first one which fixes a lockdep
warning, and looking again at the ML is the only one you said you added.
So, taken altogether, the prediction was largely predicated on me being
significantly absent-minded.
