They stopped supporting it on RHEL (even experimentally) because the code churn was (is?) too high.
The thing to understand about RHEL is they backport... everything.... to ancient kernels.
Code that has lots of churn can be very difficult to backport, particularly to such an old codebase.
- blaser-waffle 6y agoAs a full-time RHEL admin, there is a reason: we have some old, like ooooooooold, kernels and servers floating around. I can't see needing BTFS on my granddaddy boxes, but we've definitely made use of backported code.
