Still, I don't think this helper is necessary.

$BTRFS_UTIL_PROG filesystem sync $SCRATCH_MNT >/dev/null

doesn't _fail on failure, output error messages breaks golden image, and
is much simpler. Do I miss anything?


 runnt_btrfs_util_prog() checks the return status of the command,
 if failed (!0) it will echo so to break the golden image.


So it fails silently now? (return non-zero value and print no error
message) That seems a btrfs-progs bug to me.. It should print error
messages to stderr on failure, so we don't have to check the return
value explicitly.


 For programming interfaces I would rather depend more on the return
 value, than the UI/error strings.

That's precisely why both error messages to stderr *and* return values are used.
For scripts you always have the option to ignore stderr through
redirection to /dev/null and check only the return value.

Also _runnt_btrfs_util_prog filesystem is, in my opinion, a terrible
name. What does "runnt" means?

 run (but) not terminate.
