... or use 3.1.2, and get ONLY fs/btrfs from Chris' for-linus tree, compile it out-of-tree, and use it to replace the original btrfs.ko. There used to be this: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/articles/b/t/r/Btrfs_source_repositories.html#Building_latest_btrfs_against_a_recent_kernel_with_DKMS But personally it's much easier to just compile it manually without dkms: make -C /llib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$(pwd) modules -- Fajar -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
