I think it would be weird to make Btrfs the default file system, were that still the case. And one way to alleviate that, it sounds like, is if there were a Btrfs developer on the Fedora kernel team in some capacity, even if it is strictly Btrfs bugs. But I'm open to other ideas. And if it's just a case of release criteria violating Btrfs bugs remaining blocker worthy, then I think it can go either way. > I think 3-5 are the best options right now with a focus on having btrfs > be available but not "supported".

I'm on the fedora-kernel-btrfs@ since February, and also supposedly get btrfs-progs bug notifications. And I've been on linux-btrfs@ since early days, they know who I am, even though I can't code my way out of a hat. They've always been responsive when I show them bugs I can reproduce. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
