I feel it's most bad experiences when it was started at first - and on enterprise systems it never really got adoption because of bad RAID. I still remember some bugs with inodes that could not be deleted making me mad and forcing me to format my laptop with the more conventional XFS :)
But I guess if (big if?) FB uses it in production (without a lot of internal patches) it may be kinda stable now. Still, I don't see it as being useful for a lot of people nowadays, particularly if you sit on an "expendable" VM in a cloud.
- pfranz 8y agoSynology has rolled out btrfs in par with ext4 a few years ago for models that support it. Changing to a new filesystem is scary so I'm not surprised it has taken this long to reach mainstream. I'm glad there's still a big player like FB supporting it.
