• docs in the form of man-pages and a user manual

Version semantics

The tools relies on an expected disk format structure which is reflected by your current kernel version. Disk format can be upgraded or downgraded automatically by the kernel, if needed.

• Any patch-level change means no disk format change
• Any minor-level change means a potential disk format change which is not breaking
• Any major-level change means breaking changes
