* btrfs-progs: build: add support for asciidoctor doc generatorDavid Sterba2018-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've been using asciidoc that's written in python2, which is going to be phased out and deprecated next year. There's a replacement, asciidoctor. Add a configure-time detection which tool is available, update Documentation/Makefile.in. The original asciidoc tool is still preferred as it produces slightly better output. The file asciidoc.conf does not have a direct equivalten in asciidoct and would need to be replaced by extension written in ruby. The differences: - the <literal> are not automatically underlined and are less visible in the generated manual page, but it's still acceptable - the inline CSS for the html output looks subjectively worse, is less compact and colourful Issue: #89 Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Make --shrink a separate option for --rootdir, and change the default to off. The shrinking behaviour is not a commonly used feature but can be useful for creating minimal pre-filled images, in one step, without requiring to mount.

Especially for people unable to mount their fs with super::total_bytes mismatch, this tool will fix the problems and let the mount continue.

* btrfs-progs: doc: add description of missing and example, of device removeMisono, Tomohiro2017-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch updates help/document of "btrfs device remove" in two points: 1. Add explanation of 'missing' for 'device remove'. This is only written in wikipage currently. (https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Using_Btrfs_with_Multiple_Devices) 2. Add example of device removal in the man document. This is because that explanation of "remove" says "See the example section below", but there is no example of removal currently.

* btrfs-progs: subvol: change set-default to also accept pathMisono, Tomohiro2017-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes "subvol set-default" to also accept the subvolume path for convenience. If there are two args, they are assumed as subvol id and path to the fs (the same as current behavior), and if there is only one arg, it is assumed as the path to the subvolume. subvol id is resolved by test_issubvolume() + lookup_path_rootid(). The empty subvol (ino == 2) will get error on test_issubvolume() which checks whether inode num is 256 or not.

The overall structure should be settled, the formatting of the ioctl description may change in the future, newly added ioctl descriptions should follow the examples of BTRFS_IOC_SUBVOL_CREATE.

* btrfs-progs: Add zstd supportNick Terrell2017-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds zstd support to the btrfs program. An optional dependency on libzstd >= 1.0.0 is added. Autoconf accepts `--enable-zstd' or `--disable-zstd' and defaults to detecting if libzstd is present using `pkg-config'. The patch is also available in my fork of btrfs-progs [1], which passes Travis-CI with the new tests. The prebuilt binary is available there. I haven't updated Android.mk.

* btrfs-progs: check: add option to skip mount checksDavid Sterba2017-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes it's needed to do a check on a mounted filesystem. This should work fine on a quiescent filesystem or a read-only mount. Changes on the block device done by kernel might confuse the userspace checker and it might crash when it reads some stale data. Repair without mount checks is not supported right now.

* btrfs-progs: send operates on ro snapshots onlyHans van Kranenburg2017-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While talking to another btrfs user on IRC today, it became clear that a major point of confusion in the btrfs send manual is that it's not telling the user soon enough that send/receive solely operates on subvolume snapshots instead of the original (read/write) subvolumes. So, change the first few lines to explicitly mention snapshots instead. Technically, snapshots are also just subvolumes, but requiring this level of technical detailed knowledge doesn't help the user who is just trying out things.
