It has been in a good state for quite a while. There seems to be quite a lot of people who use it on enterprise-grade hardware and servers that require high reliability.

Is it included in any distributions yet? Do you just need to build the latest kernel or something like that? Download the source code, and follow what it says in the INSTALL file?

Of course it is. Fedora installer allows btrfs since for few releases now.

Yes, Fedora is one of the releases that has officially supported it for a while now. Additionally an initrd hook for btrfs has just been implemented for Arch Linux, so you might see btrfs being an option for that in the next version of the installer :-)

I also believe that Ubuntu 10.10 is slated to have it; I think it's in the current alpha, though based on my reading, there are still some rough edges. I think Fedora's actually got a rollback feature, using snapshots, which should be super nice -- hopefully, others come up with similar features to take advantage of btrfs's features.

Btrfs is in Ubuntu 10.10 alpha and that installs and works oke is my experience.

You can use it after installation in Ubuntu 10.04. In fact I'm pretty sure it was enabled in the kernel of 9.10 too.
It's not (yet) an option for installation though.

It's included as an installation choice with openSUSE 11.3.

Use it if you don't care about the data on your box or do regular backu= ps. All
of us developers run it on our workstations without much of an issue th= ough.
Thanks,

Thank you...
I wouldn't suggest to use it in productive environments. Especially as the error handling is very rudimentarily for now. If you run into errors, you won't be able to repair the filesystem. For productive environments there are also way to much situations where the whole kernel panics instead only the affected filesystem. Another construction area is still the ENOSPC handling.

Johannes
