I used/use SLES for a long time, and there is a strong recommendation from SUSE itself how you should btrfs with SLES. -Just use it for the OS, XFS for data -Just use it in mirror configuration -Don't touch anything else -Make Snapshots and delete them is stable With those points, i too had never a problem.

Novell controls the XFS development and Redhat has bought a competing technology. Obviously they are not going to push Btrfs. Its use amongst large companies speak for itself however. I see that tge ZFS fanboys are out in force however. I mean, people should be free to use a second class citizen zoth a terrible license and a pool gestion made for masochists if they want.

  Why is Novell's statement that BTRFS is only narrowly useful trivially ignored but large companies eg Facebook using it meant to be interpreted as positive proof while handily ignoring that Facebook is using it for ephemeral data.

    >ignoring that Facebook is using it for ephemeral data What really?? That's hilarious!! Probably just because of zstd compression i would think.

  >Novell controls the XFS development and Redhat has bought a competing technology. What? Are you trolling? Redhat is the biggest contributor to XFS > Silicon Graphics Red Hat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS >Its use amongst large companies speak for itself however. Tell me please? Facebook and.....? >second class citizen zoth a terrible license RHEL does not support btrfs anymore (since 2017) i wonder why is that...oh right RHEL is not a experimental distribution. I would say btrfs is not first class at all (ext4 and XFS is), i just wait until Linus and his Fedora create some entertaining emails.
