Hello. This is wrt this thread: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg36639.html The OP of that thread had not clarified (IMO) what exactly he means by "unreliability of btrfs send/receive". Is it only via ssh/network, or even in the case of backup to local alternate (external) drive? What exactly happens? Does it: a) muck up existing data on the source, b) or on the target, c) or doesn't muck up any data but fails *silently* halfway, d) or fails halfway and tells me it failed? One of the important reasons I'm looking to use BTRFS is the backup economy that send/receive promises. If this reason is going to be affected seriously, then I'll return to BTRFS a year hence as was suggested elsewhere... -- Shriramana Sharma ஶ்ரீரமணஶர்மா श्रीरमणशर्मा -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
