It's a file system for admins who understand where the bodies are buried. I'm not sure I understand your comment... Are you saying BTRFS is not a general purpose file system? If btrfs isn't able to serve as a general purpose file system for Linux going forward, which file system(s) would you suggest can fill that role? (I can't think of any that are clearly all-around better than btrfs now, or that will be in the next few years.) Or maybe you meant something else?
