Thanks both.

Generally, would you agree to putting more links to the wiki in man pages
since man pages are not forever but sure take a long time to update on the
installed based and the wiki can be up to date for everyone right away?
(I'm not saying to remove info from the man pages, but more something like
"btrfs is changing quickly, more up to date information can be found on the
wiki page for
raid56: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID56
or
btrfsck: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfsck
btrfs restore: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Restore

Thanks,
Marc
