I do the same thing on a second disk, and wouldn't mind re-installing fedora en my primary on some-other-fs. I DO worry about how safe the FS is. I used BTRFS in ubuntu 10.10 on my GFs laptop, and SUDDENLY one day she ran out of battery, and when she re-booted the whole partition was empty. I have not trusted BTRFS since. -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
