Btrfs burned baby burned!

From the better-filesystem-my-ass-back-to-xfs dept. (298)

Well, it only took about 6 months but Btrfs burned me badly. [It turns out] (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/5599/focus=5623)(Btrfs wiki) that simple copying/rename operations can leave you with zero-length file sizes if your system crash (or you loose power or your disk is buggy).

Even doing btrfsck left my filesystem in bad shape. And now I have no idea which files are corrupted or when did I loose them... what a bad situation. Luckily I have enough backups to figure it out.

Back to XFS, the best file system and only champion.
