It shows the mounted filesystems according to the temporary fsid. Also, I've noticed that the real fsid is omitted for device nvme0n1p1, i.e., the command de-duplicates devices with the same fsid - tested here without the TEMP_FSID feature and it behaves the same way.
Mounted devices should be fine with those unique temporary fsids in place. However, my main concern lies with those cloned devices before they are mounted. Btrfs-progs build the in-memory device list from the fsid list, and that part requires some fixing. In the past, we did not handle duplicate fsids. If we had cloned devices, they had to be fixed with their fsid using 'btrfstune -u|m' before mounting. Sorting them by fsid worked fine. However, if we want to allow duplicate fsids, we might need to consider how the end user will identify the btrfs devices before they are mounted. I believe that currently, it only displays the last device that was scanned.
In case you think we could improve such output, I appreciate suggestions, and I'd be glad if that could be considered an improvement (i.e., not blocking the patch merge on misc-next) since I might not have the time to work on this for some weeks...
These commands represent the basic steps users take when trying out the new feature. We need to make sure it works. Thanks, Anand
