repo usage should be more consistent and obvious

Open julie777 opened this issue 3 months ago • 2 comments

I found it confusing that when I found the github btrfs user that the repo did not have the progs in it and it was not obvious how to report bugs. Then I found this repo for progs and another one in gitlab. Which is the proper one to use?

Also when reporting bugs, where do I report them if I am not sure if it in the btrfs kernel module or in the prog?

Thanks for a great file system!

BTW, normally New Issue for repos has a choice of bug, feature request, etc. It seems like that would make triage easier.

The readme says how and where to report bugs (section Reporting bugs) but yeah it can be more specific. Also the RTD page does not seem to be clear and should be updated.

The gitlab repository is only a mirror, I'll update the title.

If it's not clear if it's a kernel or progs bug it's best to report it here as I get the notifiactions and other people read and comment the issues too.
