Why should it matter? It's an extremely niche technology that's only interesting to some home users. I see no reasons why other users should care about a RAID level they're not interested in.
(I don't use btrfs or any other COW filesystem because of significantly worse performance with some kinds of workloads, but it has nothing to do with maturity of any of them.)

There's a reason why Ceph added erasure coding: * https://ceph.io/en/news/blog/2017/new-luminous-erasure-coding-rbd-cephfs/ https://ceph.io/en/news/blog/2017/new-luminous-erasure-codin... * https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/rados/operations/erasure-code/ https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/rados/operations/erasure-cod... When you're talking about PB of data, storage efficiencies add up.
- greenavocado 2y agoWtf? This is a bizzare take. Facebook poured in millions of dollars of R&D into btrfs.
