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).
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.
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
Last night in a fit of insomnia I decided to run btrfs-convert on my ext4 root. No problems at all so far =)
