Sounds like you should be running Red Hat, not Fedora. RHEL has a 10 year support cycle, so you can wait for technologies to mature before you migrate to them.

- maxk42 6y agobtrfs is well over 10 years old and RHEL ditched support for it. My experience with it has not been positive.
- vondur 6y agoAs Fedora is the testing distro for RedHat Enterprise Linux, I’m guessing they are planning to use BTRFS in upcoming versions.
- freedomben 6y agoI wouldn't read that much into it. While a lot of Fedora people also work at Red Hat, Fedora really is a community project. It's quite possible that the community voted to use btrfs as the default file system, even though support is not planned for RHEL. That said the RHEL people will be paying attention. If btrfs proves successful, I could totally see it going into RHEL 9. Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat but not on Fedora. I'm just a happy Fedora community member for a little over 10 years now
