FWIW, I've had largely similar experiences since about 4.0. I'm also not using anything more complicated than raid1/raid0, and I stay on top of monitoring for all my systems, but even accounting for that, I've had no BTRFS issues that caused anything beyond minor inconvenience (that is, no data loss, nothing that would have required taking the system completely off-line to fix if it was the root filesystem, and no crashes arising from BTRFS itself). From what I've seen though, as long as you stay up to date and don't do much more complicated than a raid1 or raid0 setup, don't use qgroups (they're technically working, but they still have a significant performance impact) and don't use lots of snapshots, you should be relatively fine. -- 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

Somehow, not one disk has spontaneously burst into flame on 4.9 nor 4.10-rc for me yet, so I guess so. Also, 4.9 is a LTS that's going to be maintained for 5½ years so it is supposed to be stable. And there's no evidence it is not. Experimental features continue to be in a bad shape, but you don't appear to be going to use them.
