Hi Jeff,
The day after the openSUSE conference, Jos showed me his laptop and a problem with it under the most recent Tumbleweed kernel (and older kernels as well.)
Greg, I suggest it go to the kernel bugzilla, not the openSUSE one. Btrfs is just not yet stable enough for openSUSE to consider it anything but experimental. === fyi Partially in hopes of convincing myself btrfs would be ready for 12.1, I put together a wiki page explaining how to install and run the filesystem test suite the xfs team maintains. I pointed the testing team at it, so they have run at least some automated btrfs tests. http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:XFStests Over time a lot of those tests have been expanded from xfs only to multiple filesystems or generic to linux. I found btrfs failed 3 of the existing functional tests. Failures: 075 112 254 (with the tumbleweed 3.0.0-rc7-4-desktop kernel. Similar failures with older kernels.) I asked on the list that maintains the xfstests script to see if was a test bug, or a btrfs bugs. They said the tests should be fine, so they represent real btrfs bugs. fyi: I don't know what those specific tests are, so maybe they should not be considered btrfs "ship stoppers". I just assumed that until all the pre-existing tests pass, btrfs will be considered experimental.
