How to skip "looping a lot" question of btrfs restore 3.15?

Hi together,
In the current HEAD (3f11e516db629f7a662bfd6376231817b4e34cc9) of
https://github.com/kdave/btrfs-progs.git (I assume this list is the right address because I got some hints to the project from here) the btrfs restore subcommand asks often (up to 100 time during restauration of 400 GB)

We seem to be looping a lot on /a/path/to/our/precious, do you want
to keep going on ? (y/N):

which can't be suppressed with the -i option (which might be right because it's technically not an error), but I can't see how to get around this. Am I missing something? Otherwise it would be nice to have an extra option maybe with an argument how often "we" are looping on a file before the command asks for interaction.

Best regards,
Karl-P. Richter

I just posted the patch we use to get around that. Or, if you don't want to build a modified btrfs-progs, you could always use the yes command to press y for you.

Hi Justin,
thanks for your help. I guess the patch will be available in the repos, soon, so I'll work with yes in the meantime because I'm not too familiar with patching in this form.

Best regards,
