I've been using btrfs in anger for a number of years (though not using snapshots, subvolumes, etc) and am happy with it - though I always make sure I've got plenty of free space. However, I've been sufficiently worried about the checksum issues being reported with newer kernels (still on 2.6.32 in Ubuntu 10.04) that I'm considering deferring upgrading to 10.10 when it appears to avoid the newer code. I can see only one merge of patches to btrfs in the mainline kernel since 2.6.35 was released on August 1st (merged August 10th), and those came via the linux-2.6-block tree not from the btrfs devs so I don't see any prospect of those issues being fixed in 2.6.36 either. > Also, what about the RAID-[56] parts, they were announced more > than a year ago, but still I can't see anything in the open. Those are still out of tree I'm afraid. cheers, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
