When doing some basic btrfs filesystem operations, such as:

btrfs filesystem show /

i get the error message:

ERROR: unable get label Inappropriate ioctl for device
Btrfs v3.16

Why do I get the error message, how does it influence me and how do I get rid of it?

When doing some basic btrfs filesystem operations, such as:

btrfs filesystem show /

i get the error message:

ERROR: unable get label Inappropriate ioctl for device
Btrfs v3.16

The error prevents many basic information gathering commands such as btrfs fi show <dev>, btrfs device scan <dev> and btrfs device ready <dev>

There is something broken in the btrfs filesystem. When doing some basic btrfs filesystem operations, such as:

There is something broken in the btrfs filesystem. When doing some basic btrfs operations, such as:

btrfs filesystem show /

i you get the error message:

ERROR: unable get label Inappropriate ioctl for device
Btrfs v3.16

The error prevents many basic information gathering commands such as btrfs fi show <dev>, btrfs device scan <dev> and btrfs device ready <dev>

Why do I am a concerned about this, since it is never a good idea to have problems in your filesystem! Does anyone know why we get the error message, and how do I get rid of to fix it?
