Hi Sven,

Thank you for uploading!

I totally understand riding on boring ext4, and it's what I still
recommend for friends, family, and colleagues (especially for laptops)
:-) I wonder if ext4 will gain metadata checksums by default before
XFS gains ext4's reputation for resiliency to powerloss and memory
bitflips?  I hope btrfs soon stabilizes to the point where it can be
recommended as a general purpose default...with a wiki page more along
the lines of "use it, it works" than "here are all the things that
could go wrong, and how to work around them".

Cheers,
Nicholas
