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
