One anecdote of a filesystem working fine and one anecdote of it becoming a disaster don't cancel each other out.

I wouldn't buy a $5 USB thumb drive if half the people said it lost their data and half said it worked fine.



I'd buy it -but only for short-term use to sneakernet shit I already had backed up reliably somewhere else.

of course, where we run into problems is that btrfs is meant to be the reliable backup. Oops.


You realize that there are $5 thumb drives that work, just like there are filesystems that actually work right? There isn't any benefit to using something broken, these problems have been solved.
