  Has it gotten less crash crash eat your data stash? Last I checked, distros were putting it into their install options while it was still happy to crash the FS with major data loss. I haven’t checked on whether it was worth it since.

    It's been the default OS for opensuse for at least afew years. I've been using it on root filesystems and data volumes with no problems. I was backing up to a 1TB btrfs volume but it filled up with snapshots and cleaning them didn't cause any problems. I've since moved to a 4TB drive and I rsync another drive to it weekly and take a snapshot. I've had no issues. https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:BTRFS https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:BTRFS edit: I've had a couple hard crashes in this period. My homeserver's power button attracts little fingers.

    Synology are using it on many of their NAS units, alternative being ext4fs.
