MeeGo Using Btrfs As Default File-System

"MeeGo, the mobile Linux operating system that came about when Intel and Nokia joined forces to marry Moblin and Maemo, will be using Btrfs as its default file-system.

"A very early MeeGo development release has been available for a few weeks and there is also an Intel App Store in development. The latest news for MeeGo is that it's using Btrfs as its default file-system, as confirmed on the mailing list.

"MeeGo is now the first high-profile Linux distribution that will be deploying Btrfs by default. Btrfs has been in the mainline Linux kernel since the Linux 2.6.29 release and has been an Anaconda installation option within Fedora for a few releases."
