[Bug 601299] Re: maverick btrfs slow install

[Rocko]

On a btrfs-related note, the developers have only just realised that it
might be worth advising btrfs users of the following caveat (see the
wiki at https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page):

"Note that Btrfs does not yet have a fsck tool that can fix errors.
While Btrfs is stable on a stable machine, it is currently possible to
corrupt a filesystem irrecoverably if your machine crashes or loses
power on disks that don't handle flush requests correctly. This will be
fixed when the fsck tool is ready."

ie it is ridiculously easy to lose an entire partition!

@James: I can confirm what Conn said in comment #9: when I tried the
Maverick btrfs install in a VirtualBox environment, it ran chronically
slowly until I enabled the host disk cache, and now it runs at normal
speed.
