Public bug reported: The btrfs in 2.6.31 has some blemishes which have been addressed in Chris Mason's git (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mason /btrfs-unstable.git) pending merge into 2.6.32
Namely: * ENOSPC panics * Incorrect metadata reservation leads to disk full at somewhere around 70% of expected disk capacity * Huge performance increases due to smarter caching (for bootup, around a doubled speed) * Misc panics and oops The regression potential is minor: These are primarily bugfix releases backward and forward compatible for existing btrfs users, and btrfs doesn't touch anything in the kernel tree outside of itself, so there's no chance of regressions for non-btrfs users. In userspace, it'd be a good idea too to update btrfs-tools to Chris's git branch too, which adds the delete snapshot support in userland, but that's a much more minor concern compared to the kernel aspect of this. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Backport btrfs from upstream git head into Karmic's kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/481404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
