Significance of high number of mails on this list?
Hello. People on this list have been kind enough to reply to my technical questions. However, seeing the high number of mails on this list, esp with the title PATCH, I have a question about the development itself: Is this just an indication of a vibrant user/devel community [*] and healthy development of many new nice features to eventually come out in stable form later, or are we still at the fixing rough edges stage? IOW what is the proportion of commits adding new features to those stabilising/fixing features? [* Since there is no separate btrfs-users vs brtfs-dev I'm not able to gauge this difference either. i.e. if there were a dedicated -dev list I might not be alarmed by a high number of mails indicating fast development.] Mostly I have read like "BTRFS is mostly stable but there might be a few corner cases as yet unknown since this is a totally new generation of FSs". But still given the volume of mails here I wanted to ask... I'm sorry I realize I'm being a bit vague but I'm not sure how to exactly express what I'm feeling about BTRFS right now... -- 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
