> Just out of curiosity: is there a specific reason you're not using plain-vanilla filesystems which _are_ stable? I'd guess that it is the classic case of figuring out if something works without using it being a lot harder than giving it a go and seeing what happens. I've accidentally taken out my own home folder in the past with ill-advised setups and it is an educational experience. I wouldn't recommend it professionally, but I can see the joy in using something unusual on a personal system. Keep backups of anything you really can't afford to lose. And one bad experience isn't enough to get a feel for how reliable something is. It is better to stick with it even if it fails once or twice. |

For non-critical subsystems, sure, but certain critical infrastructure has to get it right every time or it's an abject failure (barring interference from random cosmic rays and similar levels of problems). Filesystems have been around for the better part of a century, so should fall into the category of "solved problem" by now. i don't doubt that advanced filesystems are stupendously complex, but i do doubt the _need_ for such complexity beyond the sheer joy of programming one.

Like a pacemaker or dialysis machine, one proverbial strike is all i can give a filesystem before i switch implementations.
