You should always check with https://www.kernel.org/ what are the current versions and what is their status. As you can see, 4.8 is basically dead in the water, nowhere seen on the website, it does not get any updates anymore by the kernel devs. If yours is a distro kernel, you now have to rely on whatever fixes (and with what kind of quality) the distro maintainers are able to backport. Personally I took a liking to always running the latest longterm series, i.e. right now staying on 4.4 and after a few initial hiccups it appears rock-solid Btrfs-wise (as you said for single device, no multi-devices, no qgroup etc). I'd suggest that you either upgrade to 4.9 (from the news it appears that one will be granted the next longterm serues status), or switch to 4.4, which may or may not be less preferable, given there are some scary sounding reports about 4.9 (if you have this list's archive, search for "4.9" in thread titles) with little to no conclusive resolutions. -- With respect, Roman -- 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
