Using Btrfs with Ubuntu 14.04

Using Btrfs with Ubuntu 14.04

[Cyril Scetbon]

Hi guys,

Can you tell me if there are any pitfalls to use Btrfs under Ubuntu 14.04 (Btrfs 3.12). Are there any well known bug that are only fixed later ? Please, send me links just to check if it could hurt or not ..

Thanks

You should probably install the latest kernel, as otherwise if you 
report any issue to this list the first thing people will ask you to do 
is to update.

Follow the instructions here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild

It is not hard, but it will take a while. I would allow at least an hour 
to build a kernel package unless you are on the latest fast hardware. It 
could also take a long time to git clone the kernel unless your internet 
conection is fast.

On step 2, I suggest you clone from the stable reposistory instead of 
Linus's bleeding edge repsitory. The sable clone URL is: 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git

Good luck !

Cyril,
I fresh installed ubuntu 14.04 with btrfs on the boot SSD and btrfs on a 
1Tb HDD.
I had some issue with the UEFI, when I turned it off in the BIOS , all 
worked fine.
I am also running three other laptops , all with a single hard drive and 
14.04 and run fine.
I so need to remove snapshots ever once in a while, as I apt-get upgrade.
I installed 3.14 on the three laptops as there where many btrfs bugs 
fixed there, and it all works fine.

14.04 is using the 3.13 kernel and (so far) has seemed stable enough for me.

YMMV. ;-)

cheers,
Chris

Do you know what was happening with UEFI ?

Did you identify a list of important fixes needed to go for 3.14 ? If I understand well you kept the kernel and just change the driver version, right ?

Thanks Niv !
