Ack. I did exactly same patch a week ago, the changelogs sound equivalent to me, so I'll drop my patch and take yours. http://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/btrfs-unstable.git/commitdiff/d9929bfeec0abf24ae7fdbc5855914fe7f3886c9?hp=b562e44f507e863c6792946e4e1b1449fbbac85d I did the btrfs-progs side as well, that prints a warning but otherwise lets the user create dup on multi-dev filesystem. http://repo.or.cz/btrfs-progs-unstable/devel.git/commitdiff/22c67c3105c887f541d7353d79d9e11b68e70998 -- 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
