Does the manpatch below describe an acceptable API for a hook to a
facility for waiting for the completion of deleted snapshot cleanup?

Hi David,
the btrfs command is smart enough to accept short form of the sub-command if
there is no ambiguity. For example btrfs fi is a synonymous of btrfs
filesystem.
Because that the acronyms are discouraged. Instead a long form is preferred.
So instead of CG (which means ? Garbage Collector
btrfs s ... is imprecise, as the operation isn't on a subvolume, but
on the fi where the s used to be but isn't any more.
With your approval I'll go with filesystem garbage-collection which
can be abbrevd to
btrfs fi g /butter 3 || echo there should be some more space now \
but it

Hi,
adding a --wait or --sync switch to the delete command is
certainly possible, you'd want to add it to the last in a series
of deletes.
I think this (--sync) is a much better idea than the alternatives so far.
Thanks,

Hi,
Or make --sync the default behavior. This is probably what most
people are expecting anyway (similar to how standard filesystem
commands like rm work). Add an --aysnc option for those that
only care about knowing when the subvolume is taken out of the
tree.
Yeah. We've

For subvolume removal, racing doesn't seem like an issue. Why not just

Nevermind, read the whole thread this time. I'll defer to others
Hi Sage,
Actually, that was fixed in 2.6.34 (0bdb1db2). Creating a
snapshot syncs all dirty data and metadata to disk, so you get a
fully consistent point in time snapshot. No 'sync' is necessary
(and doing a 'sync' yourself would be racy any).
Oh, thanks! Am happy to see
