Hi all With Sun^WOracle''s changes to the Solaris license and more, Btrfs looks more welcome every day. However, I can''t find anything about its progress for stabilisation or features, so I guess it miht be appropriate to ask here? * How far is Btrfs to become "stable" as in for production use? * I think I read a year back that RAID[56] support was started (merge of md code IIRC). How far has this come? Will it allow for what ZFS RAIDZ[123] can do? * In ZFS, block sizes vary depending on file size on the same filesystem. Is this a feature that is wanted or that will (or is) included in Btrfs? * In ZFS, some dedup has been added. I read somewhere this is a planned feature in Btrfs, but again, is it far away? * ZFS is self-healing for device failures or sector errors, given sufficient redundancy with mirrors or raidz[123]. I guess this will the same in Btrfs? * in ZFS, scrubbing takes up a very high amount of I/O, significantly reducing disk performance for the zpool (at least this is the case for 2009.06 and Solaris 10). Will there be done efforts to help avoding this with Btrfs?
