So much FUD in this discussion. Christ Mason talked publicly that they use the cheapest SSDs they can find (even worse things than what he would be willing to put in his laptop), and that they investigate every instance of btrfs corruption. You're saying the exact opposite of the main btrfs guy at Facebook. I wonder who is right...


Who is right, one guy whos reputation relies on something not breaking or a bunch of end users who report the thing broke for them?

I experienced issues with write amplification within the past few months in Ubuntu 22 so it isn’t like all the issues are gone. I do agree that there are less issues now than there was before, but I will still say that btrfs still breaks or behaves unexpectedly much more often than ext4 or xfs.
