Just looked at this page: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Status https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Status and I can see how they would interpret that as "not ready". There a good number of "mostly OK" ones, one is unstable. With comments like "write hole still exists, parity not checksummed", "auto-repair and compression may crash ", and others.
It might be good enough for some but I can see many customers of Redhat would not want to trust their crown jewels to anything that stays "mostly OK".
- newman314 10y ago"mostly OK" and storage should not ever mix. That's like the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ of storing things. Scary.
- rdtsc 10y agoExactly! You phrased it better than me. Storage of customers' data and "mostly ok" should be very far from each other.
- cmurf 10y agoNone of those are default configurations that you'd get with mkfs. And there is no UI in any installer to enable raid56.
