(a lack-of-bug report) Message-ID: <55D1567B.3030809@gmail.com> Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2015 23:35:23 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Sender: linux-btrfs-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: I just wanted to drop you guys a line to say that I am stunned with how excellent btrfs is. I did some testing, and the things that it did were amazing. I took a 4-disk RAID 5 and walked it all the way down to a one-disk volume and back again, mixed in devices of different sizes in different modes, balanced it in every direction, trashed data on drives without the OS knowing, and did every other form of torture I could think of, all while looping file integrity tests, and it was perfect. The ease of use and simplicity were great. I was dreading having to administer ZFS in order to get snapshots and other features, but now I don't have to. With the exception of enterprisey features like SSD intent logs and stuff, it is hands down far better than ZFS. Thanks for the great work! Regards, Tyler Bletsch
