I see ext4 very deprecated in your blog. So why was it choosen as default for openSUSE (against ext3)?
The short answer is release schedules.
thanks. So we can expect to have btrfs default for openSUSE 11.4
Probably not. OpenSUSE 11.4 is tentatively scheduled to come out in March, which is only 7 months away. I use btrfs for my data partition and users who can tolerate a bit of uncertainty are welcome to test it. I wouldn't yet recommend it as the default yet since there are at least two major issues left to resolve. The first is that the balancing algorithm needs to be fixed to avoid a situation where unfilled tree entries populate the metadata tree. That ends up causing the file system to be more than 50% populated by metadata - so your 20 GB file system only has 10 GB usable for data. Not a good scene. The second is that most error conditions are still "handled" by crashing. This is how reiserfs was for a long time and I'd prefer not to relive that experience. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkxpUjAACgkQLPWxlyuTD7IOewCfeJlmWb+Hy+onv3nZc11qtLiQ XSgAoI9la0TJVxRMzsXifsyS2ng7pMGP =7nQ4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
