huh? you don't need a dkms package for btrfs - it's built-in to the mainline kernel, and has been for quite a while.
Except then if you have an old (stable) kernel, you also have an old btrfs.
that's a problem with an easy answer: "Don't Do That, Then!" really, just compile the latest kernel or use a backported kernel package for the distro of your choice. messing around with dkms just to avoid doing that strikes me as being somewhat insane (perhaps due to excessive exposure to overly bureaucratic change management processes - you're not allowed to change the kernel so you have to pretend you're not actually changing the kernel, you're just updating one filesystem driver in it and then pretending that nothing else could possibly be affected) craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
