On: Fedora 16 To Use "Btrfs" Filesystem By Default

[nodata]

Last time I checked, btrfs had a read-only fsck implementation, i.e. it could find errors but not fix them. I hope fsck is finished and stable now (the project page still says fsck is not available).

Edit: this also means Fedora doesn't use LVM by default anymore

Uh, that's pretty big. How will I resize partitions on the fly?

It's the "by default" that's important. You can still use lvm to resize your partitions. But resizing volumes within the btrfs partition will be done by the btrfs tools.

It's OK. btrfs - like zfs before it - blurs the lines between LVM and filesystems, so they're all one layer.
