There is a new momentum to improve the Btrfs-progs quality :)
IMO, one step is to get rid of the legacy tools and sources. It wastes
time to maintain them and these old tools cause confusion. btrfsctl.c,
btrfs-vol.c and btrfs-show.c are not needed anymore. Please correct me
if there are plans to use these old tools in future Linux distributions.
The "btrfs" tool replaces the legacy "btrfsctl", "btrfs-vol" and
"btrfs-show" tools. Below, the usage text of the old tools is quoted.
All these tasks are also offered in the "btrfs" tool, and this tool is
the newer one.
I fully agree: btrfsctl, btrfs-vol, btrfs-show are perfectly replaced by
by btrfs. Moreover time to time the patches are more complex than the
needing because exists these "legacy" programs.
I checked the debian package, and to me seems that there is no need of
{btrfsctl,btrfs-vol,btrfs-show}
