You should say N here unless you are interested in > testing Btrfs with non-critical data. Just take a look at Fedora. The maintainers had planned to use btrfs as standard filesystem for Fedora 16 (but haven't done so), they had planned to use btrfs for Fedora 17, but perhaps hesitate, see https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/704 There are some other distributions which also seem to (perhaps) follow the "bleading edge". And therefore end users believe that using btrfs is safe. (I've learned my lesson ...) Just for the record: using btrfs (when it runs stable) may reduce many other problems on my system. I'm still hoping. Viele Gruesse!
