Hmmmm, I've been contemplating btrfs on some new installs with the eventual goal of a CEPH network file system, on top of ext4 and/or btrfs. Is this issue just with the drivers, or related to btrfs too? How is btrfs , from the "driver's seat"? Does this aberration you detail, extend to the Green Seagate 2T drives? > I just saw on the mythtv list about the sector size problem these drives Can you give a precise link to this list or can I follow it (read only) via net news? (if so what is the news group name)? I'd like to read up on this issue, as I have several gentoo installs (very soon) that will have RAID1 using (2) ST 2T green drives. Alternative RAID configs and performance/reliability results is also of keen interest to many; so thanks for posting about these issues. James
