We'll definitely move in line with the common API over time. Thanks Anand for starting this! I'd prefer that we keep it per-subvolume for now, just because subvolumes are so cheap and because it seems like a better collection point for general use. But as the other filesystems add features we'll make sure and keep parity with what users expect. -chris -- 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
