Yes, Chris, CentOS7 is based on 3.10, a 2 years old kernel, but CentOS7 is a distribution I use now.
Don't be surprised when a kernel from back when btrfs was still marked as experimental sets your machine on fire; the experimental warning was only removed in 3.13. The Kconfig for 3.10 said: help Btrfs is a new filesystem with extents, writable snapshotting, support for multiple devices and many more features. Btrfs is highly experimental, and THE DISK FORMAT IS NOT YET FINALIZED. You should say N here unless you are interested in testing Btrfs with non-critical data. To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here. The module will be called btrfs. If unsure, say N. I think the "enterprise" distros have done their users a huge disservice by shipping it enabled before it was ready.. :-( All the best, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC
