Hey, I couldn't make the meeting, but I am interested in BTRFS. I added this in puppet-gluster a bunch of months ago as a feature branch. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1094860 I just pushed it to git master. https://github.com/purpleidea/puppet-gluster/commit/6c962083d8b100dcaeb6f11dbe61e6071f3d13f0 The reason I want btrfs support, is I want glusterfs to eventually be able to support reflinks across gluster volumes. There is a strong use case for this feature. Let me know if this helps!
