True enough.<br>
But with Redhat voting with their feet it will make the uptake of
BTRFS much slower if at all.</div></blockquote><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Redhat was never a major contributor to btrfs. The folks who are on btrfs like it and will continue fund its development. We might see a btrfs v2 similar to ext3 and ext4. But only time will tell. Please let's not equate red hat with upstream kernel development. There are a lot of us who are unrelated to red hat doing it as well.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thanks</div><div dir="auto">Dhaval</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><br>
Remember Reiserfs? I was a great filesystem at least for my use.
Much more reliable then the equivalent ext systems but
non-technology related issues killed it.<br>
<br>
There may be an open GPL version of ZFS(Open ZFS).<br>
There is bcachefs.</div><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><br>
