Recently I'm reworking the btrfs-convert chunk allocater to make it able

But when I was testing, I found that, your devel branch, with the
following commit just fails to convert an empty ext4 filesystem:

btrfs-progs: fragments: use btrfs_open_dir for btrfs-fragments
command
That's the top commit, but it's not causing the breakage. I've bisected
the breakage to the patch
commit 893b7a6815a735449613afbb4040f486a4a4e1d0

btrfs-progs: Read the whole superblock instead of struct
btrfs_super_block.
Looks familiar? :)
The patch caused some trouble in the past (on ppc64 machines) and I've
been holding it back due to that. The plan is to add it to 4.3 devel
branch and get it fixed before the final release, so the convert could
fail in the meantime. I'm trying to put together all pending branches
for the next release so I can't say when the convert will be fixed.

Thanks for the bisect, David.
Very interesting, I'll try to fix it in recent days at least to make
sure that btrfs-convert can be executed without assert.
Hopes the convert rework for separated chunk profile will arrive in time.
Thanks,
Qu
Finally, the bug is found.
A SUPER AWKWARD TYPO....
See the patch just submitted:
[PATCH] btrfs-progs: Fix a typo which causes super_copy corrupted
And, I think that's also the reason why PPC64 report errors.
But unfortunately, there is no PPC64 machine here for me to test.
Hopes someone can help testing it on PPC64.
Thanks,
Qu
