btrfs is my backup disk although its anywhere but full, 20G/80G but I believe the ENOSPC hanlding is quite improved recently and the corner cases continue to be fixed. > Wait a year or two for using this FS on real important data (need to > back up a data should mean you are not to put it on btrfs :) ) while wait is a cautious strategy, it is stable otherwise. there are no crashes and dataloss and data checksumming is awsome feature. :) -- Regards Shridhar _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
