Linux Versin 0.17 of the Linux filesystem btrfs has been released. The main news on this release is that it has been included in the Linus' tree. The changes include support of transparent compression, seed devices, improved block sharing while moving extents, improved block allocation and many bug fixes and performance improvements. Also, the disk format is not expected to change unless a critical bug is found.

Btrfs is going to be great. I am really looking forward using it on all my boxes. Maybe 2010 .. that will give me only one year to play around with ext4 ;)
