* General Question... I note many emails about BTRFS ... is it related to XFS?

I have no issues with the messages related to BTRFS on the list, but it
did stimulate my curiosity -- what's the relationship betweeen BTRFS and XFS?

* Just using a similar test suite?
* Code sharing?
* Feature sharing/overlap?
* merging?
* Nothing, they are just crowding the list..? ;-)
* Other?

Or are we allowed to know?


*curious one*....;-)

We're all sharing the test suite.  ;)

And some of the developers are lucky enough to be shared between the two 
projects as well ;)

	Excellent way to leverage a huge body of existing work...

	I'm sure it will flush out more errors in XFS as well,
especially in the more BTRFS specific tests... XFS will just
have to add some more features to fully pass the test suite... ;-)



	BtB, having BTRFS pass the XFS test suite would certainly
make me more confident about trying it out and using it for production
work...but I suppose that's part of the intent!
