lionceau Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 That leaves Facebook, SuSe and Fujitsu as the major BTRFS contributors. Quote The Btrfs file system has been in Technology Preview state since the initial release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Red Hat will not be moving Btrfs to a fully supported feature and it will be removed in a future major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The Btrfs file system did receive numerous updates from the upstream in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 and will remain available in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 series. However, this is the last planned update to this feature. Red Hat will continue to invest in future technologies to address the use cases of our customers, specifically those related to snapshots, compression, NVRAM, and ease of use. We encourage feedback through your Red Hat representative on features and requirements you have for file systems and storage technology. This acquisition seems to be related: https://www.redhat.com/en/about/press-releases/red-hat-acquires-permabit-assets-eases-barriers-cloud-portability-data-deduplication-technology They intend to open source Permabit's technology. Perhaps XFS will get deduplication and compression in the near future? So far I do not regret my decision of using XFS for all my array and cache drives. Quote Link to comment
