Hell, even I am not going to switch to BTRFS until it is stable, and I am just a normal desktop user with nothing important on my computer.. And I have backups..

    However, having said that, I think when BTRFS finally IS stable, it will literally be the coolest and best file-system on earth..
    no one is complaining... *sigh*

    they did an analysis oriented on their needs at decided to share their findings. what's wrong with this? better say thank you for the time and work in doing this.

    critics or naming issues is not equal to complaining!!!!!!!

      It's not merged yet:


      It was very active just 2 months ago. It may make it in yet.

        LZ4 is made by FreeBSD developers. Another win for open source if Linux adopts LZ4!

        Interesting story by Anchor. Sad they switched to ext4 at the end, because of all problems....

          not sure how btrfs could be used in production:

          for the past 2-3 (?) years I've been trying to use btrfs on (additional) data backup partitions, my home partition and since then it only has somewhat managed to persist on my portage-partition

          one of the reasons is that every now and then I get errors like the following:

          [ 248.887953] btrfs: use lzo compression

          rsync simple stops, all disc activity ceases

          this is a 3.8.10 kernel with btrfs-state of 3.9 kernel :/

          and back I'm to ext4, xfs, ZFS, etc.


          it's a shame reiser4 didn't made it into the mainline kernel - it's still way more mature & stable than reiser4

          afaik I never or only once had data loss with it - whereas with btrfs several times already I didn't have access anymore or data corruption of data
