Chris,

Any chance to create a btrfs partition less than 256MB? I'm looking at
using btrfs when it's stable enough for all partitions rather than
some btrfs and smaller ones non-btrfs. Currently, reiserfs/reiser4
supports smaller than 100MB which is good for testing.

in btrfs-progs-0.18/mkfs.c ...
                                if (block_count < 256*1024*1024) {
                                        fprintf(stderr, "File system size "
                                                "%llu bytes is too small, "
                                                "256M is required at least\n",
                                                block_count);
                                        exit(1);
                                }

Also, would it be possible when creating a 300MB partition for "df" to
display "50MB free" instead of "300MB free"?

Thanks,
Jeff.
