Redhat Fedora 13 includes BTRFS, but it's not used as a default (yet). F13 also supports yum (package management) rollback using BTRFS snapshots. I'm not sure if Fedora 14 will have BTRFS as a default.. RHEL6 beta also includes BTRFS support (tech preview), but again, not enabled as a default filesystem. Upcoming Ubuntu 10.10 will use BTRFS as a default. That's the status in Linux world, afaik :) -- Pasi _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
