Hi all,
this patch adds the command "btrfs filesystem label" to change (or show) the
label of a filesystem.
This patch is a subset of the one written previously by Morey Roof. I
included the user space part only. So it is possible only to change/show a
label of a *single device* and *unounted* filesystem.
The reason of excluding the kernel space part, is to simplify the patch in
order to speed the check and then the merging of the patch itself. In fact I
have to point out that in the past there was almost three attempts to propose
this patch, without success neither complaints.
Chris, let me know how you want to proceed. I know that you are very busy,
and you prefer to work to stabilize btrfs instead adding new feature. But I
think that changing a label is a *essential* feature for a filesystem
managing tool. Think about a mount by LABEL.
To show a label
$ btrfs filesystem label <device>
To set a label
$ btrfs filesystem label <device> <newlabel>
Please guys, give a look to the source.
Comments are welcome.

Hi all,
enclose you can find a patch which improves the help of the btrfs commands,
updates the INSTALL file and the btrfs (command) man page.
Regarding the help of the btrfs command:
- moved the "subvolume set-default" command in the "subvolume" commands group
- removed a wrong new line
- small tweak on the basis of Andreas suggestion
Regarding the btrfs command man page:
- renaming the command "device balance" in "filesystem balance" (thanks to
Andreas Phillipp to highlight that)
- adding the entry "subvolume find-new"
- document the switches of the command "filesystem defrag"
- document the <devid> facility of the command "filesystem resize"
- small tweak on the basis of Andreas suggestion
Regarding the INSTALL file, which was very old, I removed the reference of the
old btrfsctl utility and changed the examples using the btrfs command.
I removed the old (and now wrong) statement about the inability to delete a
subvolume/snapshot
Chris, you can pull the patch from the branch "help_cleanup" of the following
repository.

(or you can browse the changes at
http://cassiopea.homelinux.net/git/btrfs-progs-unstable.git/?p=btrfs-
progs-unstable-all.git;a=summary)
The patch is very simple: only updates the man page, the INSTALL file and
moves/updates some lines in the help of btrfs command. Comments are welcome.

[Btrfs-Progs][V2] Update for lzo support
- Add incompat flag, otherwise btrfs-progs will report error
when operating on btrfs filesystems mounted with lzo option.
- Update man page.
- Allow to turn on lzo compression for defrag operation:
# btrfs filesystem defragment -c[zlib, lzo] <file>
Note: "-c zlib" will fail, because that's how getopt() works
for optional arguments.
