Stable btrfs

[perfectpete216]

Since 2.6.35 moves btrfs from being experimental to stable, will it be included in F14?

Hi

We have Btrfs support starting from Fedora 12. In Fedora 13 onwards, just pass "btrfs" as a option in the Anaconda boot prompt at the start of the installation and you can choose Bttfs during partitioning. Note that this won't work on live images.

I know that, it started in F11. I use F13 with a btrfs root. I'm asking if that kernel will be in F14

Hi

You can search for the versions in http://koji.fedoraproject.org In this case, the answer is yes, we will have 35 release.

if you want a "stable btrfs" ask Linus to finish it

Where does it say that btrfs is stable in 2.6.35? Their wiki hasn't changed in a long while, and that warning about unstable disk format is still in the 2.6.35 menuconfig

Rahul: Thanks! Now running 2.6.35-3!
renkinjutsu: Under 2.6.35 it's considered stable

Yes yes, but where did you read this? (only because i'm curious)

I saw it in a This Week In Linux video via Youtube

What a shame! I thought i was subscribed to him, but i guess i wasn't.

He got his info from softpedia, and i can't find where softpedia found that tidbit about btrfs.. Nothing in the official announcement of the kernel release and it's still marked as experimental in the kernel config, and the wiki has been updated on the 8th, but it doesn't say anything about going stable.

So i'm not too sure whether it's true or not. But i know that it was planned to be marked as stable for 2.6.35.
