On Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric" with gcc 4.6.1, compiling the btrfs tools from git fails for me with the following error:

The following change fixed this for me, not sure if it's the appropriate approach:

Which git repo?
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-progs.git
builds on ubuntu just fine (just checked on a fresh checkout), and likewise the integration repo (but note that the integration repo's master branch is not useful to build; you need to check out one of the actual integration branches as described on the wiki).

That's likely the issue - the following commands reproduce the compile error for me:

git clone http://git.darksatanic.net/repo/btrfs-progs-unstable.git btrfs-progs cd btrfs-progs
make
[...]

However, using the integration-20120605 branch compiles fine. Thanks and sorry for the noise!

Bye,
