I just check the latest progs code, in commit ef2a8889ef813ba77061f6a92f4954d047a78932 Btrfs-progs: make image restore with the original device offsets, we suffer from an huge pain and take a great amount of efforts to map logical offset to physical offset. But with this patch, we'll build the same whole logical-physical mapping on the disks we're restoring to with what it is on the disks that generate the image file, so we can get rid of those pain causing by mapping issues. thanks, liubo -- 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
