Taking the BTRFS plunge

[J.Witvliet at mindef.nl]

FYI, i'm using BTRFS for over a year,
Even though it is not a fedora machine, the upstream code remains the same I guess.
I don't use advanced features of btrfs, (I stil use lvm on top of softraid) but it has proven for me (in this order)
- reliable enough (never data loss, even after power incidents)
- fast enough
- less overhead compared with others F.S.
- less restrictions

Only thing I noticed, is that you get reduced performance when you let a run-away root-process/root-user fill a filesystem upto 100%
(I once forgot to set the user-id on a rsync-job from cron ;-)

Subject: Taking the BTRFS plunge

As a ZFS on Linux user, I noticed that there are btrfs packages for Fedora 20. Can anybody here comment on their stability? Are you adventurous enough to use btrfs on root ? Has it saved your data? Have you lost data because of it?

Context: I'm planning on moving /home on my laptop to ZFS/BTRFS soon.
