This oneliner shows how much really basic btrfs tools commands syntax is broken by design :( Looking on how so freakishly overcomplicated btrfs command syntax is that command like above is completely unintuitive and unreadable sometimes I'm really thinking about start rewrite btrfs-progs to make btrfs basic tools syntax as similar as it is only possible to ZFS zfs, zpool and zdb commands on using which in +90% cases you can guess how necessary syntax must look like without looking on man pages. Any volunteers want to join to help implement something like this? Maybe someone already started doing this? kloczek -- Tomasz Kłoczko | LinkedIn: http://lnkd.in/FXPWxH -- 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
