Upgrade your kernel!

This kernel is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to old for any production use of 
BTRFS. Heck, upstream still did not mark BTRFS as stable although Oracle 
and SUSE do support it. Current kernel have a many fixes.

Use at least 3.2. And have backups anyway.

The hard-link issue is known since ages and being worked on (see link from 
Jan in this thread). If you want to help, test the patch.

So, folks, can we get over it?

Thanks,
