I can see Oracle ejecting BTRFS from it's folds, but seriously doubt it will die. BTRFS is now mainlined into the Linux kernel and I will bet that currently a lot of it's development is already coming from outside parties and Oracle is simply acting as the commit maintainer. Linux is an evolving OS, what determines a FS's continued existence is the public's adoption rate of that FS. If nobody ends up using it then the kernel will drop it in which case it will eventually die. -Ross _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
