Let me summarize here the comments I've read so far and what we disussed with Ilya on irc: * btrfs check -- seems to be accepted * btrfs restore -- seems to be accepted * btrfs rescue * select-super -- it is a command that can make things bad and should be used with caution, thus not very suitable to put under 'rescue' command, let's keep it as a standalone utitly for now * show-super + * dump-super -- they do basically the same thing, the output is different, Ilya suggests to keep only 'dump-super' with 2 output modes, and I agree with him * debug-tree -- suggested name is 'dump-tree' Then, the namespace 'rescue' does not fit the purpose, these are debugging commands, so the proposed name is 'debug'. They do not seem to fit into 'inspect-internal' which is supposed to work on a mounted filesystem, and I think this should contain commands for infrequent but useful things. Let's focus on the above commands for start, we can add more later (eg. the repair subcommand). thanks, david -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
