Stable btrfs available for kernel 2.6.28?
Hi all, and sorry if this has been answered...
Starting with kernel 2.6.28, the btrfs stable kernel module, version 0.16, does not compile. I maintain the Gentoo Linux ebuilds for btrfs, and I would very much like to retain a working stable btrfs as well as unstable (which is not a problem, of course).
I have applied a variant of Yan's patch to fix calls to __pagevec_lru_add(&pvec), but there are still numerous compile errors. I don't feel comfortable patching myself given the critical nature of btrfs.
So, is there either a new stable version available now (or soon), or is there a patch I can apply to 0.16 to get it working with 2.6.28?
Thanks!

I plan on releasing the current unstable bits as a stable release this week. You can safely cut from the unstable tree instead of v0.16.
