These two patches complement the previous two kernel-side patches. The first implements a way of displaying the current progress of any running balance process. The second patch allows a running balance to be cancelled.
I'm a bit uncertain about the best name for these commands. Several options: 1) # btrfs filesystem progress <path> # btrfs filesystem cancel <path> Way too vague (cancel *what*?) 2) # btrfs filesystem balance-progress <path> # btrfs filesystem balance-cancel <path> Clashes horribly with "filesystem balance" -- no abbreviations possible. 3) btrfs filesystem balance -p <path> btrfs filesystem balance -c <path> Changes behaviour significantly on a switch, in contrast to the behaviour of the rest of the btrfs tool. 4) btrfs balance progress <path> btrfs balance cancel <path> My current favourite, although we introduce a new namespace ("balance") for commands. We could add "btrfs balance start <path>" as a synonym for "btrfs filesystem balance <path>", for some degree of consistency. At some point, I'll add a "monitor" function, which will poll at 1s intervals for progress updates, and print out progress when it changes.
