Comment 28 for bug 748340

Debian has a newer version available (0.19+20120328 currently):

http://packages.debian.org/sid/btrfs-tools

Did you try building it and installing on Ubuntu?

It's quite simple:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep btrfs-tools

$ wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/btrfs-tools/btrfs-tools_0.19+20120328-1.dsc http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/btrfs-tools/btrfs-tools_0.19+20120328.orig.tar.gz http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/btrfs-tools/btrfs-tools_0.19+20120328-1.debian.tar.gz

$ dpkg-source -x btrfs-tools_0.19+20120328-1.dsc

$ cd btrfs-tools-0.19+20120328/

$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

$ sudo dpkg -i btrfs-tools_0.19+20120328-1_amd64.deb
