Btrfs To Go Production-Ready In Oracle Linux

“Btrfs, the quite promising next-generation Linux file-system
that’s been in-development for years by Chris Mason and others, is

During his talk last week at the SCALE 10x LA event, Chris Mason
of Oracle did mention that an error-fixing Btrfs fsck tool will be
ready by next month. He mentioned a hard deadline of 14 February

supporting Btrfs in their Linux distribution, which is derived from
the Red Hat Enterprise Linux code-base.
