So alot of crazy people (I'm looking at you Meego) want to use btrfs on phones
and such with small devices. Unfortunately the way we split out metadata/data
chunks it makes space usage inefficient for volumes that are smaller than
1gigabyte. So add a -M option for mixing metadata+data, and default to this
mixed mode if the filesystem is less than or equal to 1 gigabyte. I've tested
this with xfstests on a 100mb filesystem and everything is a-ok.

Hi Chris,
below is enclosed a trivial patch, which has the aim to improve the error
reporting of the "btrfs" command.
You can pull from
http://cassiopea.homelinux.net/git/btrfs-progs-unstable.git
branch
strerror
I changed every printf("some-error") to something like:
e = errno;
fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: .... - %s", strerror(e));
so:
1) all the error are reported to standard error
2) At the end of the message is printed the error as returned by the system.
The change is quite simple, I replaced every printf("some-error") to the line
above. I don't touched anything other.
I also integrated a missing "printf" on the basis of the Ben patch.
This patch leads the btrfs command to be more "user friendly" :-)
Regards
G.Baroncelli

btrfs-subvol find-new <subvol> <id> will search through a given subvol
and print out all the files with extents newer than a given id.
Care must be taken to make sure any pending delalloc is on disk before
running this because that won't show up in the output.
This goes along with the new space info ioctl. This will spit out the space
info all nice and pretty with the type, it's flags (DUP, RAID) and how much
space is in that group and how much is in use.

This commit introduces a new command called 'btrfs' for managing
a btrfs filesystem. 'btrfs' handles:
- snapshot/subvolume creation
- adding/removal of volume (ie: disk)
- defragment of a tree
- scan of a device searching a btrfs filesystem
- re-balancing of the chunk on the disks
- listing subvolumes and snapshots
This has also been updated to include the new defrag range ioctl.
