I will be unable to attend tomorrow but I have concerns of making

believe 3-4 months is enough time to test it well enough. On 2.6.38.x I
still get regular kernel abrt crashes on resume. Is it even marked stable in
the upstream kernel yet?
Another concern is whether btrfs is going to work well to store
virtual machine disk images (ie. to replace LVM for that purpose,
where LVM is known to work very efficiently).
Last time I looked -- which I admit was a really long time ago -- it
behaved fairly pathologically with these huge monolithic files that
are rewritten in-place.

powerful monitoring features, net stats, disk stats, logging, etc.
