Hi, Tobias, The fix was backported to v4.7 and v4.8 stable, so it's not just v4.9. The btrfs-progs version doesn't matter for mounting. If you use a stable kernel newer than v4.7.10 or v4.8.4, you will be able to mount it. If you really need to use it with an older kernel, you can clear the free space tree with -o clear_cache,nospace_cache from the newer kernel. Sorry for the trouble, we really had to add this incompatability bit even for x86 because of a btrfs-progs bug that could potentially corrupt the free space tree. -- Omar -- 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
