Not at all... That's to be expected considering the rapid development
still. I'd recently stumbled across this little foible for btrfs:

btrfs max number of hardlinks gotcha
http://nottingham.lug.org.uk/2012/05/btrfs-max-number-of-hardlinks-gotcha/3127

What's even better, that foible is already being fixed with some patches
going through just now:

[PATCH 0/3] btrfs: extended inode refs
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/17480

Guess I'll have to update my post!


As for the Fedora 17 release, there's a few new features in there that
are worthy of a good "Wow!".

Notable points for me are the /usr change, the kvm sandboxing and
associated virtualisation improvements, and the selinux improvements.


All good stuff!

Cheers,
Martin
