TBH, it's probably good enough at this point in time. ext3 didn't really become 'stable' until Rusty stopped developing it and moved on to ext4 :)

  It's a bit different with a file system that still undergoes heavy development of basic features... http://www.anchor.com.au/blog/2013/04/the-btrfs-backup-experiment/ http://www.anchor.com.au/blog/2013/04/the-btrfs-backup-exper... Just don't use btrfs where a failure is going to hurt.

    That blog post seems remarkably positive to me: "We thrashed this filesystem and pushed some little used features really hard & found a few showstopper bugs that crop up for our use case. We lost no data & discovered a RAID array error that hadn't been picked up before. In summary, btrfs is great, but we can't use it yet."

      Yes, it was better than what I would expect. But it completely baffles me that anyone saying that that article seems remarkably positive at the same time as saying btrfs is stable...
