		hapless on Dec 11, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: SUSE Linux says Btrfs is ready for production use,... SuSE was also the first distribution to embrace ReiserFS, only to find it inadequate. I seem to recall that SuSE used to talk about adopting OCFS2 as its primary filesystem. Thank goodness they didn't go that direction.

Why was it inadequate? Perhaps it is not well supported anymore but I haven't heard it called inadequate before.
