Does btrfs still eat your data if you try to use its included RAID featureset? Does it still break in a major way if you're close to running out of disk space?

Does btrfs still eat your data if you try to use its included RAID featureset? Does it still break in a major way if you're close to running out of disk space? What I'm seeing is that most major Linux distributions still default to non-btrfs options for their default install, generally ext4.
- skibbityboop 1y agoAnecdotal but btrfs is the only filesystem I've lost data with (and it wasn't in a RAID configuration). That combined with the btrfs tools being the most aggressively bad management utilities out there* ensure that I'm staying with ext4/xfs/zfs for now. *Coming from the extremely well thought out and documented zfs utilities to btrfs will have you wondering wtf fairly frequently while you learn your way around.
