Thanks. |

FWIW: |

(1) Tail-packing. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
(2) Good experience since data=ordered, even thru bad ram induced kernel |
| 14 |
lockups, plus a drive overheat recovery (dd-rescue) after an AC failure. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
(3) The kernel folks don't screw with it as much as they do ext*. |
| 17 |
Reference the infamous ext3 data=writeback period during which reiserfs |
| 18 |
stayed safely data=ordered. I know people on ext3 that were wondering |
| 19 |
why they were losing data during that period, until I explained the |
| 20 |
situation and they switched to explicit data=ordered. |

btrfs ftw, tho, when I think it's ready. Perhaps after the larger |
| 23 |
metadata blocks that LWN says is penciled in for 3.3, which should be |
| 24 |
early January merge-window and mid-March release, assuming 10-week cycles |
| 25 |
and given current 3.2-rc4. But I'll omit listing my reasons as I did for |
| 26 |
reiserfs, since I guess anyone interested has already read up on btrfs. |
