Oracle linux (when used with UEK2) officially supports btrfs. Opensuse also supports btrfs, and use its functionality for snapper. I haven't found any updated (i.e. released post 12.04) official support status statement from Ubuntu, but they do offer btrfs as installation option. As for "lose their filesystems", are there recent ones that uses one of the three distros above, and is purely btrfs "fault"? The ones I can remember (from the post to this list) were broken on earlier kernels, or caused by bad disks. -- Fajar -- 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
