Summary: Utilities for managing the Btrfs filesystem

Description: 

Btrfs (B-tree FS or usually pronounced "Butter FS") is a copy-on-write
file system for Linux. It was created as a response to the ZFS filesystem,
in order to replace the ext3 file system while removing a number of its
limitations, particularly with respect to file size, total file system size
and filesystem check duration; it is also expected to implement modern
filesystem features not supported by ext3, like writable snapshots,
snapshots of snapshots, builtin RAID support, and subvolumes. In addition,
Btrfs claims a "focus on fault tolerance, repair and easy administration.

This package contains utilities for managing the Btrfs filesystem
