Should i use btrfs?
Yesterday my Reiserfs on an LVM is crashed again. So i have 30 houers wasted my time to fix it. Currently i am mooving my Datas to all Computers with available free Space in my Network. I thing ist necessary to format the Volumes new. That make's my realy sick. EXT3 is good but it needs often an Filesystemcheck and by more then 1 TB it's wasting Time again. So I have readed something about btrfs. I don't need to use LVM because btrfs should have LVM functionality inside. OK i have readed that btrfs hasn't an productive Status on this Time but it is realy intersting. So i have questions about Dataintegrity. What happens if my System gets an Kernelpanic or an other Crash/Mistake and i have to hard reset my System? How is the status of Recoverytools

are you sure there's no hardware issues?
I use a lot reiserfs on LVM, on stressed system, and I have no problem at all.

RIght now the btrfs disk format isn't finalized. So, you will need to reformat your volumes a few more times to track btrfs development.
I wouldn't suggest using it yet for production. XFS and ext3 are going to be your two best choices today.
