I just want to emphasize that I didn't want in any way to say anything against a great work Josef does ... I totally understand that every software has bugs, and well when the software is filesystem, fun things happen :).

Does btrfs-progs-0.19 work with both versions of the disk format? If so it might be worthwhile pushing them to rawhide before hand.

Btrfs has been surprisingly good for me, no problems outside claiming the partition was full when there was 25gb left (on a 120gb drive). I say bring on this update, hilarity and dataloss, they do mix no matter what sanity says. - David -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

And just to increase appetite of masochists among us, this is meant very seriously ... I have lost /var partitions on two computers (Fedora without /var/lib/rpm is very interestig animal).
