Package: debian-installer Severity: normal http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg36461.html
BTRFS has some issues that can cause system lockups, filesystem deadlocks that prevent writing to disk, and other problems. After some discussion on the BTRFS mailing list (see the above URL for the archive) the consensus seems to be that we should have a warning. BTRFS isn't at the stage where someone with little knowledge of it can just use it. To have it work reliably the sysadmin needs to know more about it than for other filesystems. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
