Re: btrfs, broken design?

Ok, thanks, I will read the project wiki more carefully then :-)
Beware however that Wikipedia is the first place to look for informatio=
n for a lot of people (whether this is a good practice or not) and it c=
urrently does not provide a very good advertisement to btrfs.

Kind regards
