Hey.
Anything new about the issue described here:

It was said that it might be a regression in 5.2 actually and not a
hardware thing... so I just wonder whether I can safely move to 5.2?
Cheers,

FWIW, my laptop is on btrfs since around late 4.x kernel times - also
using archlinux. And it went w/o any issues through all the kernels
since then to current one (5.2.9 as of this writing). It survived some
peculiar hangs and sudden power offs without any bad lasting sideffects
throughout btrfs existence as its main filesystem. It's on old samsung
850 pro ssd (though haven't tested if the disk is cache flush liar or not).
That to say I don't have any storage stacks underneath. On some other
machines I use btrfs (on arch) as well, often with its builtin raid1
implementation - no issues observed so far.
