Thank you Rahul for quick reply, I have used btrfs and quite liked it, had no problems with it so far, but agree with your caution - until there are tools that support fixing issues it is better to be safe than sorry. Do you have some insight when will livecd-creator and other tools support creating btrfs live images? Is it possible already but just not recommended?
