I would like to know how you manage to trash your installation so that a rollback to a previous snapshot is the only solution to recover. I´ve got my whole personal data on a external harddisk, on my workstation is "just" the operating system. So, when the system was crashed (A time, during a kernel upgrade my whole machine shuts down and I can´t start my system or something like this (don´t know really)) I installed it new.
And how would you resolve this with btrfs, if the box does not boot anymore after a crash during updating the kernel? You were not able to resolve the issue with ext*, you will not be able to do it with btrfs. Period. I'm not arguing that all the btrfs features are useless, and stuff like subvolumes (that Jeff mentioned) and snapshots are genuinely useful, I agree, but we need to make sure that plain default users, who are not able to use any of the benefits of btrfs anyway because there will be no nice frontends for them are not suffering from something less stable than the current default fs. Advanced users will be able to select their fs. One could even think about some dialog like the desktop selection for the filesystem, but with IMVHO ext4 should be the preselected default.
