Add the "btrfs filesystem label" command
Hi all,
this patch adds the command "btrfs filesystem label" to change (or show) the
label of a filesystem.
This patch is a subset of the one written previously by Morey Roof. I
included the user space part only. So it is possible only to change/show a
label of a *single device* and *unounted* filesystem.
The reason of excluding the kernel space part, is to simplify the patch in
order to speed the check and then the merging of the patch itself. In fact I
have to point out that in the past there was almost three attempts to propose
this patch, without success neither complaints.
Chris, let me know how you want to proceed. I know that you are very busy,
and you prefer to work to stabilize btrfs instead adding new feature. But I
think that changing a label is a *essential* feature for a filesystem
managing tool. Think about a mount by LABEL.
To show a label
$ btrfs filesystem label <device>
To set a label
$ btrfs filesystem label <device> <newlabel>
Please guys, give a look to the source.
Comments are welcome.
