Re:Btrfs: kill off ext# please!

I'll stick with my tried-and-true ext3. Tried reiserfs several times with lots of problems (unrelated to the creator's other problems). Tried jfs and had massive corruption and freezes that would lock up most of the kernel. Never had a problem with ext2 or ext3. Given the fact that everybody else also seems to think that reiser, jfs, etc. are also great alternatives, it makes me wary of btrfs.
