Hey,

I apologize for this ignorant question upfront, but:

Where can I find a current btrfs git repo? The one linked from the wiki (I think cmason's unstable tree) did not update in the last 3 weeks, and I don't think nothing happened since then. Maybe the wiki could list also alternative repos from other developers?

thanks

/dev/btrfs-control

Some btrfs-tools make use of "/dev/btrfs-control".

How should I create this node? Is this a block or a character device (I suppose it should be a character device), which major and minor numbers should be assigned?

I do not use udev, so I have to create all device nodes "by hand" or "by script".

I started using btrfs with the arrival of kernel 2.6.32 - no problems until now! :-) I'm very interested in using its snapshot feature. Currently I'm not able to mount a snapshot (subvolume), but this might be connected to the missing device-node.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Michael

It's a char device node:

  $ cat /sys/class/misc/btrfs-control/dev

Maybe there is no suitable patch accepted by community. You can search the maillist in past 3 weeks or more and find it out.
