[Bug 1512116] [NEW] gparted ignores devid for btrfs filesystem

[Rolf Leggewie]

Public bug reported:

I used gparted to move and resize one of my partitions.  The partition
in question uses btrfs.  The verification step failed because gparted
does not specify the devid (something specific to btrfs it seems).
"sudo btrfs filesystem resize max /tmp/gparted-h9AlSk" is the command
line that was used and failed where it should have been "sudo btrfs
filesystem resize 2:max /tmp/gparted-h9AlSk".

TEST CASE:
1) get or create a disk with a btrfs filesystem that has a different devid than 1.  Easiest way is probably to create two btrfs partitions.
2) start gparted
3) Run "Partition - Check" on the partition with a devid different from 1.

The partition check will fail because btrfs assumes devid to be 1 if
none is specified (as documented in "man btrfs").

       filesystem resize [devid:][+/-]<size>[gkm]|[devid:]max <path>
              Resize  a  filesystem  identified by <path> for the underlying
              device devid.  The devid can be found with btrfs filesystem 
              show and defaults to 1 if not specified.
