Hi,
I wanted to test btrfs on the eMMC of beaglebone black based custom board.
Precondition: eMMC is formatted with ext4 filesystem
Use case:
Format eMMC with mkfs.btrfs -L <label> <dev>
Result:
Mkfs.btrfs denies formatting eMMC because its existing filesystem
# mkfs.btrfs -L "1storage" /dev/mmcblk0p2
/dev/mmcblk0p2 appears to contain an existing filesystem (ext4).
Error: Use the -f option to force overwrite.
If I add "-f" its possible to format the eMMC.
# mkfs.btrfs -f -L "1storage" /dev/mmcblk0p2
Detected a SSD, turning off metadata duplication. Mkfs with -m dup if you want
to force metadata duplication.

I had downloaded debian package from following link
https://packages.debian.org/sid/armhf/btrfs-tools/download
Is it a bug ? or I am missing something ?
I don't see any bug. Can you be more specific ? Thanks.
Thank you,
