Ooh that sounds cool, I've never played with NILFS2.
Note the things it does not support:
Features which NILFS2 does not support yet:This is not to say it is useless. I ran it for about a decade, with no data loss, except for a single upstream driver issue, that is, the problem was not in the NILFS2 codebase.- atime
- extended attributes
- POSIX ACLs
- quotas
- fsck
- defragmentation
It is not for everybody, but has some interesting features, which I wish had been incorporated into btrfs or bcachefs. It is not as fast as other filesystems. The trivial rollback of a file you just (accidentally) deleted is wonderful, should you ever need it.

I don't really understand the scope of the issues it has, but then again, I don't use fedora lately, and being arch, maybe I take for granted how easy arch is to setup things... But if setting up btrfs to be consistent requires fedora to have a dedicated sig for it then good I guess. I just don't understand how many problems it would need to have for a dedicated sig

These points were all taken from the original SIG announcement, linked in today's post which is just a confirmation that it is now operational.
As i've asked in multiple different ways now, How many issues are present with btrfs on fedora that it warrents a dedicated sig for it?
