Right, and it's concerning to me that Fedora is committing to btrfs by default before important applications have become more enlightened about running on btrfs. If upstream changes don't land in time for Fedora 33, we will be implicitly expecting users to be aware of these pitfalls and leave them to implement manual workarounds. I'd imagine a good bit of thought and work will have to go into creating, testing, and upstreaming those patches, so I think it's very possible that an appreciable number of changes will not land in time for Fedora 33. For example with virtualization I'd think that the changes would need to happen around the level of libvirt, and not to specific a front-end like GNOME boxes or virt-manager. It's also probably not sufficient to just set nodatacow on the default VM image directory as users may use a non-default directory for qcow2 images. Hence I don't think these issues will always have trivial solutions. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
