- ioayman 9y agoExactly! _" The Btrfs file system has been in Technology Preview state since the initial release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Red Hat will not be moving Btrfs to a fully supported feature and it will be removed in a future major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The Btrfs file system did receive numerous updates from the upstream in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 and will remain available in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 series. However, this is the last planned update to this feature."_ Source: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/7.4_release_notes/chap-red_hat_enterprise_linux-7.4_release_notes-deprecated_functionality https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterp...
- lima 9y agoYes, we build and test our own kernels and userland tools and figured out which kernel versions work and which ones don't. You've got to keep a close eye on the IRC channel and mailing lists. We never had any data loss but a lot of unplanned downtime until it got sufficiently stable - for our use case - a few months ago. Works well but we'd rather not have to worry about these kind of things. (even before it was deprecated, it was marked a "technology preview", rightfully so - if you want to use btrfs, you need to stay very close to mainline)
