Bug#432697: ITP: btrfs



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : btrfs
  Version         : 0.5
  Upstream Author : Oracle
* URL             : http://oss.oracle.com/projects/btrfs/
* License         : GPL
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : Checksumming Copy on Write Filesystem (Experimental!)
  Btrfs is a new filesystem that is designed to be scalable, efficient and
  fast.  Notable features include very fast offline filesystem check, online
  filesystem checking, checksumming of all metadata and fast, writable
  filesystem snapshots.
  .
  This package contains the helper programs (mkfs, fsck, btrfsctl) used to
  work with btrfs filesystems.
  .
  IMPORTANT: The Btrfs disk format is not yet finalized, and it currently
  does not handle disk full conditions at all. Things are under heavy
  development, and Btrfs is not suitable for any uses other than benchmarking
  and review.
  .

Review of these packages welcome.  (Yes, they're not signed. -EMYMISTAKE)
