Reader comments say RH's replacement project Stratis Storage Project has
dependencies on D-BUS, which if true means 'Eh, no', from me.

ext4 and XFS remain solid, likewise md RAID.  Snapshotting and
block-level checksumming (ZFS) are certainly nice if you can justify the
system complexity and RAM suck, not to mention building a local kernel
if your distro isn't a copyright scofflaw [**cough** Canonical **cough**].

[DNG] ..today's el Reg heads-up: "Red Hat banishes Btrfs from RHEL"

2017-08-17 Thread Arnt Karlsen
Hi,

..today's el Reg heads-up:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/16/red_hat_banishes_btrfs_from_rhel/
"Red Hat banishes Btrfs from RHEL, ZFS On Linux adds the proper crypto
Google wants before considering Btfrs for Android" got me curious, so 
I looked into it. ;o)


..from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs and a bunch of wiki pages, 
it seems somebody at Red Hat are unhappy about btrfs recipes helping
people escape e.g. systemd "upgrades" using e.g. btrfs snapshot boot
tricks, AFAIUT.

..my preliminary conclusion is I'm staying with ext4 because it is
maintained by Theodore T'so and because he has his own experience 
with systemd which may have formed his scornful opinion of it. :o)
