Thank you for a quick reply!
In fact, here's the stable-queue request. <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.stable/73711 (It was cross-posted to both the btrfs and stable lists. =:^) That said, while btrfs bugfixes are generally being submitted to stable when appropriate, as with all stable-tree patches since they aren't eligible for stable until they've hit the development kernel, the fastest (non-btrfs-next or direct-off-the-list) way to get them is to run either that development kernel. Which isn't entirely inappropriate in any case, given that while the btrfs kconfig warnings were turned down some in 3.12, it's still under heavy development such that users who choose to run it are choosing to run a not yet fully stable filesystem, and if they're already risking their data on that, they might as well run a full development kernel too. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
