Well, I'am actually in progress of figuring things out on my side. However, I experience slowness at times. Also: even if regressions are extra-ordinary events, it still does not feel right that they take so long. At least I want to try to understand what is going on there. > > v1.2.8 is the official stable version, that's why Debian uses it. v1.3 .3 > is officially 'unstable' although I haven't heard of any problems with > it (and haven't used it). Silly me. You are right. Maybe I should volunteer as maintainer and as first act copy v1.3.3 tp v1.4.0 and declare it stable ;) > I keep repositories on ext4 - I tried btrfs but found it very slow (on > our vm) and the big wins that I sought (compression, deduplication) ma de > it slower still - and btrfs deduplication is still buggy. For my "slowness" experience this may very well be the problem, at the moment I'm running btrfs. However, as I'm right now replacing the backup hardware this would be the time to change something. We will see.
