This is an attempt to make btrfs cli more end user friendly. And adds show subcommand to display all known (as of now) information of the given subvol including its snapshot(s).
The below patch: "Btrfs-progs: accommodate different layout for printing subvol list" obsoletes the previosuly submitted patch "Btrfs-progs: make provision to print subvol list tree format" Please provide your review comments. Thanks. An example output: First list out all the subvols/snapshots using the list subcommand. btrfs su list /btrfs ID 256 gen 10 top level 5 path sv1 ID 259 gen 6 top level 5 path sv1/snap ID 260 gen 7 top level 5 path snap ID 261 gen 8 top level 5 path sv2 ID 262 gen 9 top level 5 path sv1/snap2 ID 263 gen 10 top level 5 path sv1/snap3 Then use show subcommand to know all known information about the given subvol. btrfs su show /btrfs/sv1 /btrfs/sv1 uuid: 508b12a5-ed2a-3942-af63-830967201070 Parent uuid: - Creation time: 2013-01-07 13:53:30 Object ID: 256 Generation (Gen): 10 Gen at creation: 5 Parent: 5 Top Level: 5 Snapshot(s): sv1/snap sv1/snap2 sv1/snap3 v2->v3: List snapshots of the given subvol if any. Uses a more simple approach to obtain the snapshots.
