Funny how so many people think the btrfs designers are morons.

Or as if it were a half-baked project cooked hours ago.BTRFS is five years
old.

"In 2008, the principal developer of the ext3<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3>
 and ext4 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4> file systems, Theodore
Ts'o<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Ts%27o>,
stated that although ext4 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4> has improved
features, it is not a major advance, it uses old technology, and is a
stop-gap; Ts'o believes that Btrfs is the better direction because "it
offers improvements in scalability, reliability, and ease of
management".[4]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs#cite_note-3> Btrfs
also has "a number of the same design ideas
thatreiser3<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReiserFS>
/4 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reiser4>
had".[5]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs#cite_note-4>
"
