Re: btrfs on an external HD?
Um, isn't that kind of like a steering wheel that won't turn the car? :)
Actually, I understand. the filesystem is a work in progress. Besides,
I've been using reiserfs for at least 8 years, and can probably count
the number of times I have fscked it on two hands. But then again,
when I needed to, I *really* needed to...
In my particular case, the data on the external drive will be backed
up elsewhere and available instantly from my workstation or
fileserver, so "nuke-and-pave" is an option.
