Bug#678797: linux-source-3.2: Feature Request: BTRFS



Hi Jonathan,

I'm not sure about specific patches I'm afraid - the most common theme on the btrfs mailing list seems to be 'try the latest version'.

With this in mind, perhaps sync to the upcoming 3.6 kernel (not sure how easy or otherwise this is), or perhaps align to what Oracle and Suse have done for Enterprise Support:

https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Getting_started#Enterprise_distributions_with_btrfs_support

However, I get a 'gut feel' (so no stats to back this up) that the amount of interest in btrfs will lead to a lot of instalations trying it, so shipping the most mature version as is practical may be sensible as warnings around backups etc are frequently ignored. 
The 3.2 version being shipped isn't a big issue for me personally as it's working fine just now, so happy to be guided by the Debian maintainers in terms of cost/benefit.

Also, there was some mention of an upcoming update on btrfs-progs on the btrfs mailing list too - another candidate to sync perhaps?

Thanks.
