George, Always good to see the occasional very positive feedback. (Even from a non-developer such as myself! :-) ) I've been using various versions of btrfs on both test and production systems for some time now. Always looks to be spectacular for the care for backwards compatibility/safety included. Never done a 32-bit -> 64-bit jump myself but there have been quite a few leaps made on various hardware/software setups and all without a hitch keeping the btrfs in place in-situ. Very much preferred compared to the chore of instead having to read-and-rewrite multiple TBytes of data! And all still 'experimental'... ;-) Carry on the good developments!
