   Has anybody used btrfs? Is it worth using on a data drive, or too unstable still?

     It says it recommends the most recent kernel, and this PC is on Debian Stable... might stick with ext4 right now.

     Apparently it can upgrade existing ext4 partitions - might upgrade my system partition and see how performance is. :)

     What distro are you using it with, out of curiosity?

     @tekk though I installed w/ stable then upgraded since the testing iso was broken, btr worked fine for the day or so I was stable

     Nice - I just might upgrade my SSD, then. Worse comes to worse, I can just reinstall #! and be up and running.

     @windigo oh yeah, btrfs has special optimizations for running on an ssd
