We support btrfs on our 32-bit UEK Release 2 (labelled 2.6.39 but it’s actually 3.0 under the hood. Yay userspace issues). However, our latest UEK Release 3 (3.8 both labelled and under-the-hood) is only built for 64-bit and is highly recommended for production btrfs usage. We are no longer back porting mainline fixes into UEK Release 2 because the code has just moved on too far for it to be feasible. So, while there is a 32-bit kernel with btrfs support, our recommendation is to use the 64-bit kernel on x86_64 hardware for the best experience. -- Oracle <http://www.oracle.com> Avi Miller | Product Management Director | +61 (3) 8616 3496 Oracle Linux and Virtualization 417 St Kilda Road, Melbourne, Victoria 3004 Australia -- 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
