Hi all,
Will we be seeing btrfs as the default file system in the next versions.
For the next release, probably not. It could use some hammering, though, if you're up for doing that. Your best bet would be to use kernel-vanilla from Kernel:HEAD since that tracks the upstream btrfs code as closely as possible and will generate bug reports that the btrfs team will be interested in.
Pending that it has matured enough.
That's the hitch. It is getting more stable but still lacks basic error handling. If you've been using Linux long enough, think early versions of reiserfs (v3), where most errors were handled by panicking.

I've been using Linux since '99 and Minix much earlier. And yes, the reiserfs error (v3) panics were very memorable ;-)
BTW, I should also mention that I've been running my home server's data partition on btrfs for nearly a year now. I haven't had any hiccups with it.
And, Novell has been shipping products that only use btrfs for over a year now (many many thousands of preload MeeGo systems) with no reported problems at all. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
