How can such untested alpha quality stuff make it into a distro?
is btrfs alpha too ? it also does not have fsck.
Don't know. Last time I've tested it wasn't stable and IMO it still shouldn't be the default.
in this world, nothing will be ever stable and production ready if it is not widely tested and used as a default. ever.
Software does not magically becomes stable out of thin air.
You miss the point that btrfs seems to be pre-stable while systemd is obviously still alpha and it's integration into openSUSE is pre-aplha.
And all of you seem to miss a much more important point. Filesystems are interchangeable, at least if I'm building a new system (and noone's gonna upgrade to btrfs, manually or automatically, since btrfs is new, and upgrades don't reformat your partitions). Btrfs is optional, and lots of alternatives are present and usable inside the distribution. Journal is not. One can opt-out of btrfs. One can opt-in, in fact. Not so with journal. It's like trying to opt out of the kernel. Difference (big difference) is, the kernel works. Journal doesn't. Sure, journal might work some day. But since it's not something that I can opt-in or out, it's that day the day when it should've been introduced into the distro, not today. Now maintainers and everybody is hard-pressed to fix the bugs, or leave for greener lizardless pastures. Thankfully, I didn't have issues with Journal yet. But, I know better than to deploy any systemd-based openSuse on a server. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
