I've tried to use btrfs on USB-stick, but unfortunately it fails with
write errors.
The below is for kernel 4.4; I've tried with 4.6.2, and it fails in a
similar way.
I'm not sure how to reliably reproduce it, but it seems to me it has
something to do with:
- plenty of random writes
- USB stick sometimes "very slow to reply" (may be USB-stick dependent)
The closest thing to reproduce pretty much within an hour was launching
ktorrent and downloading a couple of Linux isos.
ext4 does not fail under similar load. USB stick is brand new, writing
data with dd is successful, reading data with dd is successful (whether
it's ext4, btrfs or raw partition); it only seems to fail with btrfs and
plenty of random writes.
