[ale] Btrfs anyone?

[Beddingfield, Allen]

Ah, MurderFS.  I used it for quite a while.  Such a shame that a great filesystem had to suffer because of being named after a murdering psycho...:(
Anyway, the official word is that Reiser will be supported through the life of SLES 11, and that it will be read-only/for migration only like EXT4 in SLES 12.

I've run it on my desktop, and it seems to have a lot of overhead.
More an impression than actual testing.

I support quite a few SLES server installations, and I run everything on reiser.
I'd like to go with btrfs, but I need to spend some serious time with it before I consider putting it in production. I expect to go to it eventually, but it's reiser for me for the immediate future.

Anyone else using Btrfs yet?  Being a SUSE user and the primary Linux admin in a big SLES shop, I have been playing around with it a good bit.  So far so good, but nothing that has  pulled me away from XFS, yet.
SUSE was really pushing this filesystem when I was at SUSECon in September (it shipped with SLES 11 SP2 earlier this year).
They have repeatedly made it clear that EXT4 is not welcome/won't be supported and that XFS and Btrfs are their future direction.  I don't think any other distros have jumped out there quite as boldy with Btrfs that I am aware of.
