Heck, even Oracle declared it production ready quite some time ago, yet we are still seeing issue after issue --
We are? I just did a query on our internal support request and bug queue and there have been no btrfs issues reported by customers in the past 9 months running our latest Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 3 (3.8.13) on Oracle Linux 6.
Yes, there are some issues upstream, but by and large they're extremely edge-case issues that you wouldn't expect to see on production-ready servers running Oracle Linux.
I would bet that /most/ people using Oracle's version of Linux are doing so for the "one choke" reason and those running Oracle databases are storing the data files outside of BTRFS. I wonder just how much BTRFS is actually used on Oracle Unbreakable Linux; yes it is there, but I would bet that it isn't used significantly on Oracle Linux servers. I also subscribe to lists on BTRFS and there is so much noise, that I don't have time to read the posts alot, I read the odd ones that look interesting though. However, the result of all the posts coming through, gives the very strong suggestion to me that BTRFS is far from production ready. Cheers A.
