jabl, ryao:
thanks a lot !
will try to get IOMMU running (this box is using a motherboard (P9D WS) & cpu (Xeon 1245v3) that hopefully should support this
@blackiwid:
well, the most important argument against greater Btrfs usage is risk of "data loss" - take a look at the list of recent reports that popped up on the mailing list:
(I believe several appeared on July & August)
if you don't care that much about your data - feel free to use Btrfs
meanwhile I'm only partially trusting Btrfs at least until it has attained comparable stability to ZFS and mainly putting data on ZFS pools
luckily the ENOSPC problem seemed to have been fixed (at least in theory):
will see how that fix works in the long-term
the latency-spikes (throttling ?, affecting other parts of the kernel?) I saw with Btrfs during heavy i/o (e.g. while compiling firefox, chromium, etc.) in RAM with zram seemed to have been fixed just recently to (almost) full extent
great progress with Btrfs also in the field of fsync issues (and incomplete data, data corruption) just recently mainly thanks to Filipe Manana !
