For example, if: - adding memory by yourself means voiding warranty (cause there's a warranty sticker covering memory slot cover screw), while going to official service shop means 1 full day wasted plus inflated price - you're using $300 netbook with 1 or 2 GB RAM with only one memory slot > > The advantage to ext4 for me is the build in raid1 and the snapshots.

This can be very useful as the process of rsync determining what data to transfer can be quite CPU/disk intensive. > I really appreciate the work of the developers!

I'm not complaining much about the speed at this point though, being still in dev and all, and since new features will have some performance cost. -- Fajar -- 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
