BTFRS on Fedora18 not yet production quality.
Started my system one day to have a message, disk full, cannot write to it. I was using btfrs as installed by Fedora 18 Anaconda.
I tried cleaning up by visiting /tmp and removing a few files. (YUM istallers as rm -fr yum2013*
df showed that there was lots of empty space. I figured I would delete some files and perhaps that would help.
Next thing I saw was a dozen yum files in /home, and my /boot was empty.
I have multiboot, so I restarted with Mint14.
Mint could see the files but when it tried deleting, it also got the messages "cannot write, unable to delete".
Fortunately, Mint could read what was left on the disk. I backed up again (2nd backup) and essentially reinstalled using lvm and ext4.
I will try btfrs again as the main file system for Fedora 19, but only on a separate test system on a drive reserved for testing.
