[patch 0/2] Control filesystem balances (userspace)
These two patches complement the previous two kernel-side patches. The first implements a way of displaying the current progress of any running balance process. The second patch allows a running balance to be cancelled. I'm a bit uncertain about the best name for these commands. Several options: 1) # btrfs filesystem progress path # btrfs filesystem cancel path Way too vague (cancel *what*?) 2) # btrfs filesystem balance-progress path # btrfs filesystem balance-cancel path Clashes horribly with filesystem balance -- no abbreviations possible. 3) btrfs filesystem balance -p path btrfs filesystem balance -c path Changes behaviour significantly on a switch, in contrast to the behaviour of the rest of the btrfs tool. 4) btrfs balance progress path btrfs balance cancel path My current favourite, although we introduce a new namespace (balance) for commands. We could add btrfs balance start path as a synonym for btrfs filesystem balance path, for some degree of consistency. At some point, I'll add a monitor function, which will poll at 1s intervals for progress updates, and print out progress when it changes.
