Sounds like btrfs is still more on the bleeding edge side of things. Sounds pretty cool for a tester laptop. I installed OpenSuse with it last night, but forgot to format the drive first, so it installed on a small partition. I would just rearrange partitions, but the manpages state that it can cause issues with btrfs, so a reinstall it is haha
Oh cool. Yeah. The update pre/post snapshots are enabled by default so you need a bigger partition. I think they recommend 60g? But in the worst case you can turn them off.
Regatding bleeding edge thing. I think it is pretty stable for general use. SLES (opensuse enterprise) is using it as default for root fs enterprise deployments. I don’t think they would risk finantial loses using unstable filesystem.
I can imagine the problems will probably appear on large scale deploymets, maybe with deduplication. For example I am using btrfs on my home server in raid10 array… for abou 6-8years now. I had issue only once so far which was due to me being a dumbass.
Oh, that's really good to hear! I plan on reinstalling OpenSuse today, after I delete all partitions from the drive. I daily Fedora, and like gnome fine, but kde is what started me on Linux, and using OpenSuse yesterday was so nostalgic. I forgot how much I enjoyed kde.
