Hallo, Duncan,

Just take a look at Fedora.
The maintainers had planned to use btrfs as standard filesystem for  
Fedora 16 (but haven't done so), they had planned to use btrfs for  
Fedora 17, but perhaps hesitate, see

  https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/704

There are some other distributions which also seem to (perhaps) follow  
the "bleading edge".

And therefore end users believe that using btrfs is safe.
(I've learned my lesson ...)

Just for the record: using btrfs (when it runs stable) may reduce many  
other problems on my system. I'm still hoping.

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
