Ext4? Sorry, I'm not going to get bitten by inode exhaustion again, and i think having to massively over-provision is a ridiculous strategy. Better to have the integrated b-tree as well as the 'stuffing' of ReiserFS.
Could you please explain it in more details? That sounds quite scary, just when I thought to reformat my /home from btrfs to ext4 (leave btrfs for /) your story may affect my final decision to do it...
Explain what? ReiserFS tail end stuffing? Its documented out there on the web better than I could explain it. Loosing my /home? Well that was a year or more ago, and I've even replaced my hard drive since then :-) There have been many updates to BtrFS since then. I ran the 3.19 series kernels until this last week when I switched to the 4.0 series. Under the 3.19 I never had losses. The losses were with the 3.11 stock kernel that came on the 13.1 DVD. If you're nervous, try BtrFS on something non-critical, easily replaced, like /tmp or /usr/share. I'd suggest /var but you'd better make sure there are no snapshots taken! on my scratch machine I have /usr as btrfs.
