Thank you for catching this so quickly, and for submitting a patch, and sorry I missed this. By the way, are ISO 8601 dates in man pages a goal in Debian? I noted GNU man pages use "%B %d, %Y", and chose the more international little endian long-form. There's no problem changing to ISO 8601 as you suggest, I'm just curious. > > Thanks for maintaining btrfsmaintenance! You're welcome :-) On a tangential topic, what would you recommend for making shell scripts such as btrfsmaintenance aware of plug/unplug (alternatively off battery vs on battery) state, to suspend and resume CPU and IO intensive operations, and without falling back to polling? UPower, to cover both laptops and servers that have a UPS? Cheers, Nicholas
