Given that we're past the 3.3 kernel merge window, wouldn't Chris's "for- linus" branch be based on the patches that went into 3.3, now? IOW, you're basing on 3.2.x but AFAIK you should be basing on 3.3, now, so you're missing the 3.3 patches which CM's for-linus tree branch should be assuming, at this point. Unless you know otherwise of course. I run the mainline tree here, and don't actually run anything btrfs yet, as once I started investigating I realized that it's missing features (like multi-mirror not just dual- mirror) that I need, and isn't yet as stable as I had hoped, either. So I don't know that much about the specifics of CM's tree, but in the general case, a for-linus branch would be based on 3.3 now, since it's well past the merge window. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
