Hmm, I'll probably have a go at compiling the latest mainline kernel with CONFIG_BTRFS_DEBUG enabled. It certainly can't hurt to try. And as you suspected, btrfs-debug-tree didn't explode / error out on me. I didn't thoroughly inspect the output (as I have very little understanding of the btrfs internals), but it all seemed OK. --Sean -- 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
