[RFC] expand options of btrfs-set-seeding
Hi Rich, Currently we had btrfs-set-seeding for btrfstune. But btrfstune had more options: usage: btrfstune [options] device -S value positive value will enable seeding, zero to disable, negative is not allowed -r enable extended inode refs -x enable skinny metadata extent refs -f force to clear flags, make sure that you are aware of the dangers If I want to add more options for btrfstune: 1) expand current btrfs-set-seeding command 2) add new btrfs-tune-XXX which cover current btrfs-set-seeding 3) add new btrfs-tune-XXX as supplyments for btrfs-set-seeding Which style do you prefer?

I think it will be less surprising for users if the libguestfs API more closely follows the upstream btrfs commands (ie. options 2 and/or 3).
