One possibility would be to mimic ext4 and register the fs as "btrfsdev" until it's considered stable enough for production. I agree with the consensus that we want to use the upstream kernel as a nexus for coordinating btrfs development, so I don't think it's worth waiting a release or two to merge something. - R. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
