Let me try to re-stoke your enthusiasm a bit :) If you are comfortable with patching your own kernel you can take a look at my custom patch queue, which I just put up at: https://github.com/hhoffstaette/kernel-patches/tree/master/3.14 You can take only what you need, i.e. btrfs-*. These are meant to be ironed over latest stable in order. and mostly address "corner cases" that seem to happen infrequently, but still are bad enough to leave a bad taste. Unfortunately the btrfs code has changed significantly with 3.15+, so later patches often no longer apply at all. However the ones that do have been working well for me. I don't just blindly add them, but rather at least try to understand what they do/change. I sent out an email for comments about backporting this select set of patches to 3.14, but got no replies. :( -h -- 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
