Stable is a pretty subjective term; many don't even think ext4 is stable. I've used it on my personal machine since .30-31-ish without problems, and on a server w/raid 1 for about a year (btrfs + lxc is niiice, for VMs) also free of problems. However, if you've been on the list you know that some do encounter seemingly catastrophic problems, though the list is helpful in recovering data. So, it's really going to depends on your workload and integrity needs. I remeber someone recently using it for continuous build servers successfully -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
