According to the FAQ at http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/FAQ all kernels downto 2.6.18 should be supported. I have tried to compile against 2.6.18(Debian Kernel), 2.6.24(Debian Kernel), 2.6.26(Debian Kernel), and 2.6.27(Ubuntu Kernel) and I have only been able to compile successfully against 2.6.27. Is btrfs still trying to maintain backwards compatibility with older version or is the focus on finilizing the on disk format?

Thanks,

Lee
