Uploaded in xenial new queue
** Changed in: btrfs-tools (Ubuntu Xenial)
Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed
** Description changed:
+ [ Impact ]
+
+ by default btrfs spams a lot of messages on stderr, and has no "quiet"
+ option to avoid that
+
+ [ Test Case ]
+ * Use it for a while and look at stderr messages
+
+ [ Regression potential ]
+ * none, the default behaviour won't change
+
+ [ Other info ]
+ * this is fixed in yakkety+ releases, only xenial and older are affected
+
Btrfs send and receive are noisy on stderr by default (messages like "At
subvol foo"). It'd be great to get an option to only print there if
there is an error condition. I assume there are other commands which do
the same.
See the patched version that quiets send but not receive. (I didn't realise
receive was also noisy when requesting the backport.)

Many scripts/cron wrappers check for output on stderr in order to notify
when warnings/errors occur. There should be a way to avoid triggering
such notifications when btrfs commands are successful.
