We recently declined to build btrfs into the kernel because it increased the overall memory usage by a similar amount. Also, we regularly see users and bug reports still in the 2G range. While it's not an apples to apples comparison, far more Fedora users are going to be using btrfs than > 128 CPUs. I'm not saying no immediately, but I'm kinda dubious as to the benefits for Fedora. josh _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
