Greetings:<br><br>I am also not sure if some of these ideas are because of BtrFs or not?<br><br>I would like to take a few minutes to discuss what my first impressions are with BtrFs... From information that Josef gave me this afternoon, I downloaded the F15-RC3-x86_64-DVD today, and installed 1888 packages... This process seems to go just as usual for me!<br>
<br>I rebooted, and then completeed a yum updates with the fedora, updates, and updates-testing repos enabled. I had 244 packages, and 425 Mb worth of updates! Yum took for ever to complete this small update...<br><br>As this was running, I copied over 500 Mb from my usb 2.0 flash drive to my personal home directory. This process flew, and was completed in record time!<br>
<br>After my fc15 update was completed, I rebooted once again... I disabled fedora, updates, updates-testing and enabled rawhide...<br><br>I updated my newly-fc15 installed system up to rawhide/ fc16 with 1041 packages, and 1.0 Gb of packages! The download happened very fast, and suprised me how quickly it did happen!<br>
<br>Yum once again, took over two hours to update and cleanup these packages! I have never ever taken that much time to update my computer no matter how many or how little of updates to install...<br><br>Of course, I understand the nature of bleeding edge, and this is the main reason that I love Fedora and have used it ever since Redhat6!<br>
<br>One other thing, and I know that this is not related to BtrFs, but my internet wired connection to this computer is turned off whenever I reboot my computer! I have to click on the NetworkManager icon and click on the wired option to get it working!<br>
<br>yum-plugin-fs-shapshot which is an incredible piece of technology allows BtrFs to take a snapshot of my computer before any major changes is wonderful! I do not believe that it should take a snapshot every time that I install or remove any package... I believe that there should be a yum --option for it to create a snapshot before yum does anything...<br>
<br>Everything else, works and runs wonderfully! I am so grateful to everyone that is associated with the project which allows me to use and run it...<br><br>Thank you so much for allowing me to ramble on...<br><br>-- <br>
Sincerely yours,<div>Rob G. Healey</div><div><br></div><div>"Always surround yourself with people that inspire you to</div><div>greatness!"</div><br>
