This isn't a common spelling for Btrfs, and just added confusion for me since I didn't immediately follow the reference in your original comment (I assumed it was something new). It may be a common spoken pronunciation but writing 'butterFS' in a forum comment is more characters/keystrokes than 'btrfs', so I'd consider it a typo/error to be corrected rather than a technical abbreviation to be defined.
- ilovecaching 8y agoI did it because I think it's funny.
- Zhyl 8y agoI can't believe it's not butterFS
- type0 8y agoI usually pronounce it as betterFS, which perfectly describes it :-)
