[Bug 1016438] Re: Please backport btrfs-tools 0.19+20120328-3 (main) from quantal

[Stefan Lasiewski]

Now that Ubuntu 12.10 is released, would it be possible to backport
btrfs-tools 0.19+20120328-7ubuntu1 to 12.04 LTS? The current version of
btrfs-tools which shipped with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is version
0.19+20100601-3ubuntu3, and is much older then the version of Btrfs
included with the Kernel. Because of this version mismatch, I believe
that btrfs-tools does not support features which are present in the
filesystem. In addition, many changes have been made to btrfs-tools
since June 2010 (A fsck tool, for example).

It would be great to have a better version of Btrfs included in a LTS
version of Ubuntu)

To users, 'Btrfs' means both the filesystem and the Btrfs tools used to
support the filesystem. I fear that users who try Btrfs on this Ubuntu
LTS will be disappointed due to the number of problems present with
btrfs-tools  0.19+20100601-3ubuntu3, and that will hurt the perception
of Btrfs overall.
