No, I can not agree with that. Simply put, I do not trust btrfs reliability, and many agree with this. When btrfs has been stable for 10 years (with nearly no new features), I'll reconsider. I have heard too many bad histories of problems.
I fully agree with Carlos, until *I* deem it stable I will not even attempt to use it. And I mean no disrespect to the developers, without testers bugs cannot be found and eliminated. I choose *not* to be a tester, period!
Rhetorical question - how will you deem it stable if you don't test it? If you choose not to be a tester, then you are reliant on the opinions of other testers. If you're reliant on opinions of other testers, then this one (who just so happens to be a Senior QA Engineer @ SUSE Linux GmbH) says that btrfs is stable and performant enough to be used as a default root filesystem in openSUSE & SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 and later. I am not alone in this opinion - If I was, I'm pretty sure openSUSE & SLE wouldn't have btrfs as their default root filesystems. If you want to dismiss my opinion, you're more than welcome to and my feelings aren't hurt, but then I would say you have a responsibility to yourself and anyone listening to your opinion to actually do some testing and base your opinion on data of your own gathering. Otherwise you're not really making a decision, you're just pretending to behind the mask of confirmation bias, and that leads to you missing opportunities to make use of new technologies. And that would be a shame in my opinion. Happy New Year -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
