--- Comment #64 from Gabor Katona
They are the default in SUSE Linux enterprise and have been for years now - if millions of dollars of enterprise systems are trusted with it without major issue, I struggle to see how it isn't a suitable option for a default in openSUSE
The answer is quite simple to your last question. Btrfs in opensuse (!!, not in SUSE Linux) renders several systems unusable for hours. A filesystem. Not some user installed crap. If this is not enough for dropping it as default until the bug is resolved, than nothing. As far as I see this is not enough. Which is just sad. My longest wait was 14 hours before hard reset. 14 hours and nothing happened, balance status just showed the same. 14 hours on a 50GB partition. It could rewrite the whole partition bit by bit several times during this time. Now when I realize that balance is running (it is quite easy) I immediately issue a balance cancel. Usually it takes 3-5 hours just to cancel. Do you think it is suitable for a default? Maybe the issue is some conflict between btrfs and other opensuse subsystems, this is why it isn't present in SUSE Linux or other distros. But the result is an unusable opensuse system. This seems quite experimental to me and is not suitable for a default. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
