My sense is that it could be a while before this becomes usable. >From the list post it doesn't yet support snapshots, or multiple devices, and the disk format isn't stable (which isn't the most important thing, but it is a big milestone). But, I'm all for having more options. It just seems like there is a lot of hype - people talk about it like it is done. I'm not sure at the data model level how it compares to ZFS/btrfs, and what advantages/disadvantages it might have. Obviously it supports bcache, which is something. I'd really like to see something like that become possible with btrfs (without implementing it as a separate layer underneath). -- Rich
