Hi guys,
Seems not many of us yet use btrfs, I therefore would like to ask if any users can signoff on the btrfs-progs in testing (i.e. verify that the package appears to work).
I use btrfs for 3 years now the last 2 is my root and home partitions (with regular backups). I am not using testing repository, I can enable it and test btrfs-progs. I usually just compile and install btrfs-progs from Hugo's repository with latest patches.
In particular, I'm interested to hear if someone who uses btrfs-progs and initscripts from testing could verify that the multi-device support still works? If you have the btrfs hook in your initramfs, then please enable udev too and regenerate the image to verify that that also still works.
Unfortunately none of my computers have multi-device btrfs now, used to have one for testing a couple of years ago
For those who are interested: the change we made was to scan btrfs devices for multi-device support using udev rules as the devices appear rather than doing it unconditionally after "all the devices should be ready". This approach should hopefully be more reliable than the old one.
Cheers,
Tom
