The limited scope of the patches as compared to ext3 means we're likely looking at a FS which already possesses good stability and predictable performance characteristics. You're right, however. FC11 (among others) will be the pudding. Much more interesting will be BtrFS. Being of similar complexity to ZFS and from a new code base, the testing will have to be quite long and intensive before it's truly trusted. The cycle will likely be similar to that which ZFS went through. -- Geoffrey D.
