I can say that there is nobody on the Fedora Engineering Team (which the Fedora kernel team is a part of) that is working on btrfs upstream. We do have Fedora contributors like Chris Murphy and others who have been doing a lot of testing and bug reporting around btrfs for a while though. I have less insight as to broader Red Hat involvement. Btrfs is a tech preview in the RHEL7 Beta, so some level of participation is to be expected. How much that translates to upstream development is unclear. josh -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
