Re: Distro vs latest kernel for BTRFS?

[Qu Wenruo <quwenruo@cn.fujitsu.com>]

Personally, if doing development, compiling from latest stable or 
integration kernel is my choice.

But if not developing the codes, I prefer Arch's core repo, which is 
about 1~2 weeks late than the stable release.
Although somewhat late, but still much newer than most distros' stable repo.
(I also used to use Gentoo, but even with ccache, compiling everything 
is somewhat time killing and overkilled for me)

Thanks,
Qu
