Intel's Moblin (Moblie linux, www.moblin.org) has used btrfs as default root filesystem, unless the users choose other filesystems in the installer. 2009/9/28 Tomasz Chmielewski <mangoo@xxxxxxxx>: > FYI - I've been using btrfs with 2.6.31.1 kernel for a few days as a rootfs > on a small mips system (ASUS WL-500gP - 32 MB RAM, 266 MHz CPU). > > btrfs filesystem is placed on a USB-stick connected to the device (internal > flash only contains the kernel). > > > My main motivation for using btrfs on this small system was compression this > filesystem offers - flash storage is still prohibitively expensive when > compared to traditional hard disks (i.e. 32 GB USB-stick costs as much as a > 1 TB HDD). > > > So far, everything looks fine, although I didn't try to stress it much (or > use snapshots and/or make the filesystem full). > > > Certainly one thing I'm missing in btrfs is the ability to use swapfiles - > is it planned one day (or perhaps some serious surgery in MM would be needed > first)? > > > -- > Tomasz Chmielewski > http://wpkg.org > > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
