I am currently on 11.3 using reiserfs and I would like to test btrfs.
Is it safe on 11.3 ?
Thanks, Duaine
btrfs is still "experimental" even with a 3.0 kernel, but admittedly a lot of people use it for day to day use. If you want to test btrfs, I would recommend you upgrade to a newer kernel at a minimum. (I don't know which package has the btrfs format app (mkfs.btrfs), but I would want to upgrade that package too.) You can get a 3.0 kernel for 11.3 out of the kernel-head repo. It is supposed to work at least as far back as 11.3 (possibly 11.2 or 11.1 as well.) The Kernel:HEAD repo is a little unusual. Most of the repos have a version for each openSUSE release. Kernel:HEAD has only one repo called "standard". So add http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/standard/ to your list of repos and install a kernel from there.
