> I was with you until here. T'so is quoted as writing that btrfs has a lot of the same design ideas of ReiserFS,

When I was using reiserfs years ago, it ate all my data (/home unraveled). I like the features, and it was nice and fast for the time but I've held a grudge against it for years as a result. Looking at dumps of the on disk data structures showed massive corruption.

At work, we used it for a long time in a project where tail-packing is a huge win (many many small files). Never had any problems there.

So, it doesn't really suck I just had a bad experience.

I had too, at a time, and it was because of a flakey ATA controller (some VIA-based shitty mobo). Don't throw the baby with the bath water :)
