Thank you for the information.
I just found that btrfs-progs includes several files that seem modified from
btrfs kernel source.
I am not sure exactly what they are.
Web pages say libbtrfs is to provide interface for apps that use btrfs.
Why should there be duplicated codes between kernel and user space?
Is it an on-going effort to port whole btrfs to user space?
Could you lead me to some more information about libbtrfs or how to port btrfs
to user space?
Thank you,
Jeongsik

Personally, my suggestion would be to start with a port to FUSE, and
then start implementing your modifications off of that. That said, much
of the code should already be available in userspace through libbtrfs,
which is packaged with btrfs-progs.
