Btrfs devel - May 2012 - Which kernel is safe to upgrade to for btrfs?

Hi,

I upgraded to 3.3.x lately and had no end of problems with btrfs saying my
disk was full when it was not.

I read that btrfs in 3.3.x had issue and got the recommendation to
downgrade, so I went back to 3.2.16 which works for me.

Of course, I need a newer kernel for other reasons and I can''t tell
which
branch is safe to upgrade to for btrfs.

Have the free space problems been fixed in 3.3.x or is the 3.4.x branch
better or should I stay with 3.2.x for safety?

Thanks,
Marc

There have been some fixes pushed back from the development tree into
the stable tree for 3.3.x (for the first time in btrfs''s history I
believe) but there''s a lot more work been happening in 3.4.

I''m happily sat on 3.2 and I would suggest sticking there too for a
while and watch what user reports come back for the 3.4 kernel (just out).

Just my 2p''s worth..

cheers,
Chris
