> Animals will catch what they eat, and catch no more than necessary. I don't think that's true. Have seen many a cat catch mice to "play" with until they're dead and not eat even a nibble.

A recent Fedora install here came with a new default of BTRFS use rather than ext4. So i'm curious about your experience, were any of those catastrophic failures recent? Do you know of any patches entering the kernel that purport to
