    No DAX updates is also a bit disappointing. All of my filesystems being BTRFS makes the lack of updates a bit concerning.

      What's the situation with BTRFS swapfiles? I heard Ubuntu was switching to no-swap partitions, this could effect a lot of potential users of btrfs.

        Did you mean "including myself"? I'm assuming this is just a typo, or something got cut off.

          Well I believe this is just the default functionality. Not supporting swap partitions for manual configurations (e.g. using btrfs) is just bonkers.

            If I remember back to English class (many years and many beers ago), Michael is correct. It's like saying, "aren't as exciting as (I) would have hoped for."

              ubuntu was changing default on non-lvm setups. presumably non-lvm is non-lvm and non-btrfs

                English is my native language, and even I find it strange to end a sentence like this with "including I". Writing it as "including myself" would have been more natural, although it's still a bit strange because the last part is out of place. You would normally find someone write or speak it like this:

                The Btrfs changes in Linux 4.10 aren't as exciting as some people, including myself, would have hoped for.
                Although it'd be perfectly acceptable to shorten the sentence to remove the extra fluff and just leave out the "including myself" part.

                    probably because they know the complexity of the task.
