We can use btrfs_open_dir() to check whether target dir is in btrfs's mount point before open, instead of checking it in kernel space of ioctl, and return fuzzy error message. Before patch: # btrfs balance start /mnt/tmp ERROR: error during balancing '/mnt/tmp' - Inappropriate ioctl for device There may be more info in syslog - try dmesg | tail # After patch: # btrfs balance start /mnt/tmp ERROR: not btrfs filesystem: /mnt/tmp # Signed-off-by: Zhao Lei <zhaolei@cn.fujitsu.com> --- cmds-balance.c | 30 ++++++++++-------------------- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-)
