That may be true, but it glosses over how awful performance is on those workloads on btrfs. A single Berkeley DB transaction can literally take minutes. btrfs in its default configuration is completely unusable for any system that uses databases *at all*, which is essentially everything but tiny embedded systems. I won't even use it on /tmp. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
