My sense is that it could be a while before this becomes usable. |

From the list post it doesn't yet support snapshots, or multiple |
| 12 |
devices, and the disk format isn't stable (which isn't the most |
| 13 |
important thing, but it is a big milestone). |

But, I'm all for having more options. It just seems like there is a |
| 16 |
lot of hype - people talk about it like it is done. |

I'm not sure at the data model level how it compares to ZFS/btrfs, and |
| 19 |
what advantages/disadvantages it might have. Obviously it supports |
| 20 |
bcache, which is something. I'd really like to see something like |
| 21 |
that become possible with btrfs (without implementing it as a separate |
| 22 |
layer underneath). |
