I had btrfs running on f18 and ended up re-installing with ext4 due to a known interaction with firefox and btrfs that may have killed the spinning rust in my work Thinkpad. I'm now running f23 on an SSD as the primary system drive and now using the warranty replacement spinning rust for personal data, all running ext4. As far as I know, BTRFS still hasn't made it from Fedora to RHEL because it hasn't shown itself to be quite stable enough yet. > thoughts? > > rday > > -- > > ======================================================================== > Robert P.
