There is an -f flag for mkfs to help users avoid accidents. Is there a case to be made for btrfs-convert having either a -f flag, or an interactive "Convert has limitations that could increase risk to data, please see the wiki. Continue? y/n" OR "Convert has limitations, is not recommended for production usage, please see the wiki. Continue? y/n" It just seems users are jumping into convert without reading the wiki warning. Is it a good idea to reduce problems for less experienced users by actively discouraging btrfs-convert for production use? -- Chris Murphy -- 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
