 Hello,

 Btrfs has a problem where it will easily pop the stack on x86 boxes with
 4k stacks.  Since we ship with 4k stacks this makes it impossible for
 people to use btrfs on x86, so basically anybody who wants to use it on a
 netbook.  I committed patches to fix this problem to the kernel yesterday,
 and its been built in version

 kernel-2.6.29-0.258.rc8.git2.fc11

 If that could be pulled into the Beta release that would make btrfs usable
 for anybody trying to use x86.  This patch was tested thoroughly over
 several days before I pulled it into Fedora, so it is stable, and the
 problem was reported by Linus, who needs this patch in order to keep using
 btrfs on his netbook.  Thanks,

 Josef
