i know it's not appropriate to complain about downvotes, but anonfordays responds to my question with an actual answer ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44468404 ) and more importantly with a link to the btrfs status page ( https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Status.html ) that i was not aware of (but as a btrfs user should have been) and you all downvote that to death. why? what possible disagreement could you have with that?
The amount of "mostly OK" and still an "unstable" RAID6 implementation. Not going to trust a file system with "mostly OK" device replace. Anecdotally, you can search the LKML and here for tons of data loss stories.
