Hi Li,

Since we want to control COW and compression attribute on a per file or per directory basis,
and find that the generic command "chattr" is the "Mr Right".

Currently only btrfs supports both, of course.

With these patches, we can do the followings:

c: compress
C: nocow

set compress & nocow:

# ./misc/chattr -V +c +C /mnt/btrfs/dir/
chattr 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
Flags of /mnt/btrfs/dir/ set as --------c------C

# ./misc/lsattr -d /mnt/btrfs/dir/
--------c------C /mnt/btrfs/dir/

thanks,
liubo
