Bug Description

The btrfs-tools package that comes with precise is 0.19+20100601-3ubuntu3, (2010 !) which, given the pace of BTRFS development, is much older than the current BTRFS version that the kernel supports.

This results in several issues among which :

- Unable to convert back to ext4 a filesystem that has been converted from ext4 to BTRFS then mounted (btrfs-convert -r will state the volume has unsupported features, and then segfault)

- btrfsck is unusable : will state the volume has unsupported features, and then segfault.

Please update the btrfs-tools package to a decently recent version, corresponding to the BRFS features that the kernel actually implements.

The current version from Quantal : 0.19+20120328-4ubuntu1 installs OK on Precise and apparently solves the issue without further "backporting"...
