The "The status of btrfsck" thread

[Chester]

Hi, I'm aware that btrfs doesn't have a functioning fsck tool that
fixes errors.
I was just wondering (I'm sure many are, also) if there is a working
btrfsck somewhere in the pipeline.
If there is some sort of rough estimate to when it'll be available,
please state it here.

If you're not confident about any release date, it's no big deal. I
just want an organized place
to sift through things regarding btrfsck (since it's pretty crucial)

We're still actively developing it.  I don't have a release date planned
yet but we should have betas coming out over the next few months.

Thanks chris, and that's wonderful!
Lemme just hope silent corruption won't kill me by then (I had to
force my computer to turn off a couple of times (but that was so long
ago))
Looking forward to the releases.
