Make up your mind... this is the third unrelated idea you've had about working in the area of btrfs. You're bouncing around all over the place like a hyperactive puppy. Pick *one* thing, and just do it. Put in the effort to learn about the subsystem (read my earlier emails for a good approach here). Accept that there are no easy one-liners in the kernel. The path to writing your first kernel patch is *hard*. Don't give up at the first hint that each thing isn't going to be solved in 5 minutes.
