Hi all,
the patch below deprecates the following programs
* btrfsctl
* btrfs-vol
* btrfs-show
the reason is simple, these programs are superseded by the btrfs utility,
both in terms of documentation, usability and bug. The goal is to avoid
to duplicate codes and avoid update two programs.
The patch adds a warning in the man pages, in the INSTALL file and in the
programs.
$ ./btrfsctl
**
** WARNING: this program is considered deprecated
** Please consider to switch to the btrfs utility
**
no valid commands given
usage: btrfsctl [ -d file|dir] [ -s snap_name subvol|tree ]
[-r size] [-A device] [-a] [-c] [-D dir .]
-d filename: defragments one file
-d directory: defragments the entire Btree
-s snap_name dir: creates a new snapshot of dir
-S subvol_name dir: creates a new subvolume
-r [+-]size[gkm]: resize the FS by size amount
-A device: scans the device file for a Btrfs filesystem
-a: scans all devices for Btrfs filesystems
-c: forces a single FS sync
-D: delete snapshot
-m [tree id] directory: set the default mounted subvolume to the [tree
id] or the
directory
Below the patch, but it is possible to pull the changes from:

Hi all,
enclose you can find a patch which improves the help of the btrfs commands,
updates the INSTALL file and the btrfs (command) man page.
Regarding the help of the btrfs command:
- moved the "subvolume set-default" command in the "subvolume" commands group
- removed a wrong new line
- small tweak on the basis of Andreas suggestion
Regarding the btrfs command man page:
- renaming the command "device balance" in "filesystem balance" (thanks to
Andreas Phillipp to highlight that)
- adding the entry "subvolume find-new"
- document the switches of the command "filesystem defrag"
- document the <devid> facility of the command "filesystem resize"
- small tweak on the basis of Andreas suggestion
Regarding the INSTALL file, which was very old, I removed the reference of the
old btrfsctl utility and changed the examples using the btrfs command.
I removed the old (and now wrong) statement about the inability to delete a
subvolume/snapshot
Chris, you can pull the patch from the branch "help_cleanup" of the following
repository.
http://cassiopea.homelinux.net/git/btrfs-progs-unstable.git
(or you can browse the changes at
http://cassiopea.homelinux.net/git/btrfs-progs-unstable.git/?p=btrfs-
progs-unstable-all.git;a=summary)
The patch is very simple: only updates the man page, the INSTALL file and
moves/updates some lines in the help of btrfs command. Comments are welcome.
Regards
G.Baroncelli

[Btrfs-Progs][V2] Update for lzo support
- Add incompat flag, otherwise btrfs-progs will report error
when operating on btrfs filesystems mounted with lzo option.
- Update man page.
- Allow to turn on lzo compression for defrag operation:
# btrfs filesystem defragment -c[zlib, lzo] <file>
Note: "-c zlib" will fail, because that's how getopt() works
for optional arguments.

This commit introduces a new command called 'btrfs' for managing
a btrfs filesystem. 'btrfs' handles:
- snapshot/subvolume creation
- adding/removal of volume (ie: disk)
- defragment of a tree
- scan of a device searching a btrfs filesystem
- re-balancing of the chunk on the disks
- listing subvolumes and snapshots
This has also been updated to include the new defrag range ioctl.

Kept the name with the name in, so that further processing such as
BUILD_DATE BUILD_VERSION etc. could be included later.
All man pages included in the man directory to avoid file cluttering.
