I'd be interested to see some benchmarks of the new checksumming algorithms!

Not before we've seen yet another episode of next gen filesystem wars right here!

That's a great feature, I will definitely extend then my RAID1 to RAID1C3.

Make sure to have backups because it's a new feature and could still be buggy

it makes sense when you have so many huge drives so that when one fails and fs starts moving chunks to other drivers , there is a good chance another will fail before it finishes. first, you probably don't have so many huge drives, second, raid1 should move chunks faster than raid5

Good to see another exciting update to this advanced next generation Linux filesystem.

Nice to see improvements on Btrfs, the file system that I usually use ...

I can't tell if these comments are tongue in cheek, straight forward, or if I'm just a cynical ahole. Ok, moving on.

[Charlie68]

Certainly my comment was not ironic!
