I'm still parsing through the multi-device advices. Will be back on this when 
I'm done. And I'll probably switch distro to Archlinux which seems the way to 
go if one is using cutting-edge kernel features like Btrfs.

As for the work on "Gotchas/Known Issues" on the Btrfs wiki, I also think that 
the best way is to start with the Gotchas page and put a more prominent link 
for it on the home page.

I would restructure the Gotchas page in the following ways :

* Add the mention "Known Issues" close to the title;

* Only keep current issues/gotchas (current stable kernel, current userspace 
utilities release), archive every other on a separate page;

* Group by smallest feature encompassing the issue : multi-device, quotas, 
subvolumes, compression, conversion from extX, interactions with other things 
like LVM, MD, encryption, etc.;

* Something that is "new" and not as thoroughly tested as other features should 
be listed there as well (I think) until there is a consensus (to be defined) on 
it being reliable enough to be taken out of the list. Or maybe that should go 
on another page ?

* Provide links to HOWTOs or best practices for the features discussed 
(multi-device GOTCHAS should link to multi-device HOWTO).

I will be thinking about it more before doing anything and still welcoming 
ideas.

Thanks !

Vincent
