Hi,

just slap me if the question is stupid, but when will all those new features be added
to the btrfs-progs?

The last commit is at
"git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-progs-unstable.git"
is from oct. 2010?!?

i don't know about the readonly snapshots, but the LZO stuff is a
mount option; should be in the pull.

There was also a patch submitted by Li Zefan for LZO support in btrfs-progs:

http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org/msg06931.html

If I recall correctly, btrfs-progs will throw out an error once you
use LZO compression since btrfs-progs needs to be made aware of the
INCOMPAT flag in the patch submitted above.

My local btrfs-progs git repository also incorporates patches to
support mixed data+metadata (which also uses an INCOMPAT flag aleady
in the kernel code) and for the filesystem diskinfo command.

A quick search for "btrfs-progs" in my Mailing List archive turns up a
number of other btrfs-progs patch proposals since October.

ah, indeed.  should probably include all that before .38 then... and
maybe even cut a .20 btrfs-progs "release" so everyone is on the same
page :-) there have been several questions regarding that alone.
