* btrfs-progs: mkfs: allow UUID specification at mkfs timeEric Sandeen2014-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow the specification of the filesystem UUID at mkfs time. Non-unique unique IDs are rejected. This includes attempting to re-mkfs with the same UUID; if you really want to do that, you can mkfs with a new UUID, then re-mkfs with the one you wanted. (Implemented only for mkfs.btrfs, not btrfs-convert). Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> [converted help to asciidoc] Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.cz>
* btrfs-progs: clarify mkfs.btrfs --alloc-start optionEric Sandeen2014-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fedora had a bug where a poor user thought that --alloc-start meant that the filesystem would be created at that offset into the device, rather than just starting allocations at that offset. A subtle difference, but worth clarifying, because the manpage is misleading on this point. The original commit log for this option says: Add mkfs.btrfs -A offset to control allocation start on devices This is a utility option for the resizer, it makes sure to allocate at offset bytes in the disk or higher. It ensures the resizer will have something to move when testing it. so allude to that intended use in the manpage.
