I am running 64 bit kernel: Linux HAL 3.13.0-24-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 2 23:30:00 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux which comes in the most recent Mint long term support which I like because I don't want to upgrade every 6 months.
I also run btrfs on a SSD on this system and have not had any problems. I tend to "set and forget" the OS so I am not sure of what limitations you are referring to with btfrs. It is certainly fine for a desktop, and running some VMs of various servers. Sounds like you want to roll your own distro tho which I cannot comment on. I did leave the boot partition as ext2. wgking@HAL ~ $ mount /dev/sda2 on / type btrfs (rw,subvol=@) ... /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw) /dev/sda2 on /home type btrfs (rw,subvol=@home) Greg ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mel Walters" <melwalt...@telus.net> To: "CLUG General" <clug-talk@clug.ca> Sent: Wednesday, 20 August, 2014 4:20:45 PM Subject: [clug-talk] using modern kernels ? 3.X for btrfs or other reasons Of those of you running some modern kernel's: 1/ Just wondering what version you picked and how you chose to go about it? and 2/ If you are using a method like pinning or similar? or 3/ The Liquorix kernel? 4/ which one you like? 3.4, 3.8, etc. One of the reasons I am asking is because I was playing around with btrfs and finding kernel 3.14-1-amd64 may be too limiting for latest btrfs features Mel _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list clug-talk@clug.ca http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list clug-talk@clug.ca http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
