Well, I expect a filesystem to "just work".
most people simply don't know what a file system is... (many people don't even know what an application is :-())
I recognize and want the features of btrfs. But I don't trust it, from experience, so I have to say "not for me".
I have the same experience, but on the same side, when a new openSUSE is coming one can expect it to be better and at some point, BTRFS will certainly overcome ext4, but when? for example, in a 20Gb root, booting once in a while, an update is (was?) probably going to kill btrfs default install, simply because lack of space. I had such problem even with 50Gb root. but in a near future, with 500Gb roots (and 5Tb home), will this still happen, probably not...
XFS has a well designed tool set, and a mail list where the developers kindly help people with disasters. They helped me more than once, and I helped them track a few bugs.
but it can't shrink the filesystem, the only thing I needed (to balance with root) jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
