I know it is still under active development and thus do not consider using it yet "in production", but the Wikipedia page describing btrfs contains a very frightening sentence: "Edward Shiskin, one of the Reiser4 developers now working for Redhat, got asked in Q2/2010 to look more detailled into Btrfs and judged that it has a broken design. This design may lead in some cases to out of space problems." I have read the linked mail exchange in the mailing list but it is very technical and I am not quite sure I understood everything. Could you please tell me if the problem has been fixed since? Is there a planned date for the final release of btrfs? Kind regards, Ben
