With BTRFS I was never sure how much room/free space I had available, how many snapshots I should keep, etc. I never understood why they chose to implement so many sub-directories of root as sub-volumes, when all those sub-volumes were drawing on the same free space pool!
I'm letting it mature and letting the tool set mature so that Joe User has a chance of understanding what is going on, or it gets to the state of Reiserfs where you just don't have to worry about it.
That is precisely what a filesystem should do/provide. It's just something that is there, that does it's job, that the user never revisits after creating it. (except for fsck....) Over the course of the past 16 - 17 years, I have lost many many disks, but never data due to a filesystem failure or error. I count at least a handful of BTRFS failures discussed on the list in the past 6 months or so. BTRFS may end up being the next best thing since sliced bread, but currently it seams the loaf is not quite yet done for production environments. -- David C.
