Tsutomu Itoh 060a55c331 btrfs-progs: doc: fix size suffix in mkfs.btrfs
There is no petabyte in the explanation of the suffix of
the size parameter. So, it's added.

Chandan Rajendra c11e36a29e Btrfs-progs: Do not force mixed block group creation unless '-M' option is specified
When creating small Btrfs filesystem instances (i.e. filesystem size <= 1GiB),
mkfs.btrfs fails if both sectorsize and nodesize are specified on the command
line and sectorsize != nodesize, since mixed block groups involves both data
and metadata blocks sharing the same block group. This is an incorrect behavior
when '-M' option isn't specified on the command line.

This commit makes optional the creation of mixed block groups i.e. Mixed block
groups are created only when -M option is specified on the command line.

Since we now allow small filesystem instances with sectorsize != nodesize to
be created, we can end up in the following situation,

[root@localhost ~]# mkfs.btrfs -f -n 65536 /dev/loop0
btrfs-progs v3.19-rc2-405-g976307c

The ENOSPC occurs during the creation of the UUID tree. This is because of
things like large metadata block size, DUP mode used for metadata and global
reservation consuming space. Also, large nodesize does not make sense on small
filesystems, hence this should not be an issue.

David Sterba 7ffccaf0c3 btrfs-progs: Documentaion: rename to .asciidoc
A few minor benefits:

* editors set highliting according to the extensions
* web access to the git repository (github) renders the .asciidoc
  files:
  * we can link to them from the wiki
  * the files are editable via browser and such editations can be
    submitted for merge easily
