Do you just need to build the latest kernel or something like that? Download the source code, and follow what it says in the INSTALL file? -- 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

I think Fedora''s actually got a rollback feature, using snapshots, which should be super nice -- hopefully, others come up with similar features to take advantage of btrfs''s features. -Ken -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- 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

If you run into errors, you won''t be able to repair the filesystem. For productive environments there are also way to much situations where the whole kernel panics instead only the affected filesystem. Another construction area is still the ENOSPC handling. regards, Johannes -- 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
