Is btrfs still actively developed? RedHat ditched it and never heard btrfs ever got widely popular, so I take it as an abandonware after all these years of slow progress.
- dralley 7y agoIt's not abandonware. SUSE uses it as a default, and Facebook uses it too I believe. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14907771 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14907771

Its integrated into their package management so tou can easily boot and rollback stuff from grub in case of a botched upgrade. Its even more interesting with the new transactional-update servers in which the rootfs is read only and upgrades are applied to a new clone which will be promoted to main file system during the next boot.
