So be careful with BTRFS until it was in wide use for at least 4 years.

Btrfs has been on full development for about 5 years and it does make lots of progress on both feature and performance, but why does everybody keep tagging it with ""experimental""? And why do people still think of it as a vulnerable one for production use? As a goal of production use, we have been strengthening several features, making improvements on performance and keeping fixing bugs to make btrfs stable, for instance, ""snapshot aware defrag"", ""extent buffer cache"", ""rbtree lock contention"", etc. This talk will cover the above and will also show problems we are facing with, solutions we are seeking for and a blueprint we are planning to lay out. For this session, I'll focus on its features and performance, so for the target audience, it'd be better to have a basic knowledge base of filesystem.
