New Static Builds[edit | edit source]
I have published new static builds of the btrfs-progs at. They can be used on systems where it is not otherwise possible to update btrfs-progs to newer versions. This is usually the case for long-term support (LTS) versions of Linux distributions such as Debian and Ubuntu.
Head over to Btrfs/Statically_built_btrfs-progs for download links and instructions on how to compile the btrfs-progs statically on your own system. There is also sha256 checksums for the latest versions there.
