On a btrfs-related note, the developers have only just realised that it might be worth advising btrfs users of the following caveat (see the wiki at https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page):
"Note that Btrfs does not yet have a fsck tool that can fix errors. While Btrfs is stable on a stable machine, it is currently possible to corrupt a filesystem irrecoverably if your machine crashes or loses power on disks that don't handle flush requests correctly. This will be fixed when the fsck tool is ready." ie it is ridiculously easy to lose an entire partition! @James: I can confirm what Conn said in comment #9: when I tried the Maverick btrfs install in a VirtualBox environment, it ran chronically slowly until I enabled the host disk cache, and now it runs at normal speed. -- maverick btrfs slow install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/601299 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
