- Btrfs is a new filesystem with extents, writable snapshotting,

|
|
+ Btrfs is a general purpose copy-on-write filesystem with extents,
|
|
|
+ writable snapshotting, support for multiple devices and many more
|
|
|
+ features focused on fault tolerance, repair and easy administration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Btrfs is highly experimental, and THE DISK FORMAT IS NOT YET
|
|
|
- FINALIZED. You should say N here unless you are interested in
|
|
|
- testing Btrfs with non-critical data.
|
|
|
+ The filesystem disk format is no longer unstable, and it's not
|
|
|
+ expected to change unless there are strong reasons to do so. If there
|
|
|
+ is a format change, file systems with a unchanged format will
|
|
|
+ continue to be mountable and usable by newer kernels.
