I use btrfs since February 2009 on my workstation, since September 2009 on my home server, and since December 2009 on several ARM computers. Recently I've started to use btrfs on production servers. Btrfs has not let me down yet. I do make hourly incremental backups and keep a close eye on the btrfs mailinglist though.

Re: slow deletion of files
Forgot to mention, I filed already a report for this problem: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16117 However, like the other btrfs bug I filed, it was never looked at - so I decided it was a waste of time to file bugs against it. - Clemens -- 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

How many of reiserfs' problems were due to bugs in reiserfs vs due to buggy PC memory which is rarely ECC? These fancy new filesystems hold a lot of datastructures in memory compared to older filesystems which would seem to increase the chances that they could be broken by bad RAM. I am concerned that a flipped bit in memory somewhere could be written out to disk and hose the filesystem. I know ZFS implements a lot of checksums to prevent this sort of thing but it also tends to run on nicer hardware with ECC. I never had corruption problems with reiserfs even while running it on many terabytes of disk. I know plenty of people who constantly lost data to it. I can't explain the difference other than hardware. -- Tracy Reed http://tracyreed.org pgpyK8k8VpKSy.pgp Description: PGP signature
