@mcc@mastodon.social @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems No data loss except once I ended up having a directory that would crash the os if accessed. I had been migrating file systems with DD onto new disks since the first usable versions of btrfs. Eventually on the next set of disks (maybe 8 years ago) I did a clean mkfs and never had any problems since.

@mcc@mastodon.social So it's stable enough but it does have some issues with database files which don't do well with the btrfs data model, leading to massive fragmentation.
