Hi Chris,

For the last few days, I was playing with btrfs. It looks really very promising and fantastic! :-)
Thanks for everybody who involved with this amazing file system project! ;-) Now, I play with snapshots. Creating snapshot is a breeze. Recovering from snapshots work very well without any problems as far as I tried. But; when I tried to remove the snapshot directories, I got an error message that says : "cannot remove directory `snap1': Directory not empty". But actually, it is empty. After that, I googled a bit and found at "http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Project_ideas"; at "Removal Snapshots" section, it states that it needs to be implement. But, it's unclear which state this feature is now.

It could be perfect to prepare a document that shows the current status (completed, blah-blah % completed etc.) of the features,general status of the project and maybe deadlines of feature implementions. Like : "next release will have blah-blah features" etc.


BTW, is there any temporary way to remove these snapshot directories before this "Remove Snapshot" feature implemented ? ;-)
