The wiki https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page says in bold= : =C2=AB Btrfs is under heavy development, but every effort is being made= to keep the filesystem stable and fast. As of 2.6.31, we only plan to make forward compatible disk format changes, and many users have been experimenting with Btrfs on their systems with good results. =C2=BB Adding to the fact that it comes included with the stock and distro kernels... That gives a bit contradictory signals... "Should I stay or should I go ?" Looks a bit like legal babble boiling down to =C2=AB Yes, it is suppose= d to work and be usable, so please use it, just be so kind no to sue us if you run into trouble. Not our fault, we won't accept any liability. =C2= =BB > Add to that the fact that you use Ubuntu Natty, which also have some = known > bugs. There should be some hints there on what the outcome would be := P Every distro has bugs. However Natty's kernel never ever hanged my system until I shifted to using BTRFS... I won't relate BTRFS issues to using Natty unless there is some evidence pointing in this direction... Not wanting to troll, of course, uh... ;-) > If you're used to ext4 speed, then you'll notice that btrfs is consid= erably > slower. That's why I use SSD to add some I/O speed (currently booting= to gnome > classic desktop only takes about 30 seconds). Well, I noticed it's slower, still usable for me anyway, I'm a patient guy ;-) Anyway an SSD is not an option to me, financially speaking ;-) Kind regards. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" = in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
