Hi

BTRFS filesystem is incompatible with architectures such as PowerPC
and MIPS which have a page size larger than 4k, Meaning that using a
formatted FS on machine with 64K page size will not be mounted on a
machine with 4K page.

I have noticed this remark in the wiki:
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Project_ideas#Different_sector_sizes
and the WIP patch there.

Can someone please update what is the status on this? Is someone working on it?

I can suggest to try and pick this up, if people are interested in
this solution.

Regards
Ronen Shitrit
