hm.  well to anyone who stumbles across this thread in the future,
i've managed to use btrfs as my root on 1-3+ machines since circa
2.6.32, possibly even earlier (albeit not on Debian -- Archlinux
w00tw00t ;-) ...

=2E.. there have certainly been a few bumps along the way, but not
_once_ at the fault of btrfs ... not ONCE.  tbh, I personally KNOW the
developers and community here are doing one hell of a job -- i've been
on this list almost 3 years i think, and along the way everyone has
been most helpful + accommodating; i mean i've seen Chris and others
extending rather gracious support levels when helping users recover
data or debug issues ... and considering the demand/anticipation
surrounding btrfs, this list is relatively devoid of support issues --
it's easily one of the highest quality groups i frequent.

in short, distro's only just recently began offering btrfs at install
time, with a big *warning sticker* on it.  as others have already
stated, this is clearly a Debian-specific problem, and does not
reflect negatively on btrfs whatsoever, which has been nothing short
of spectacular since the day i tried it and very much exactly as
advertised -- i haven't used anything else since (save my servers
=2E..).

i am sorry you've found yourself in this position, i really am, as
i've been there myself, but please do try and acknowledge the
considerations already extended your way -- my post marks the 51st
message in this thread.

C Anthony
