We are continually backporting btrfs fixes and enhancements to our Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel releases. On Oracle Linux 6, you would run the UEK Release 3, which is based on 3.8 mainline with upstream fixes. We also provide all security and bug fix errata for free viahttp://public-yum.oracle.com, so you don’t need to buy support to run Oracle Linux at keep up-to-date. > > > > Can't remember asking if btrfs is supported on 32 bit kernels? > > I can't speak for Oracle's distribution, but in the general case, > yes, btrfs works on 32 bit systems. > > On the subject of bitness, there's a couple of rough edges with > 64-bit kernels and 32-bit userspace.

Thankfully I had debian, so I was able to upgrade just btrfs-tools to 64bit without upgrading my entire system, and that solved it.
