@iska They don't exist. These cosmic masons are just processes that you haven't kill -9'd yet.

Same here, I checked it out on one of my machines, found no benefits and switched back to ext4. I've seen claims that it's better when working with big git repos, but this was about the time when I was cross-building Void for AC100 netbook, so I was patching stuff in void-packages a lot, didn't notice any performance gains. Maybe my hardware is too old for btrfs 😂

Unless it's better at "stable filesystem", it doesn't seem like a good idea.

I got a bad feeling when they wrote that it stood for "Better FS". People that write that don't produce stable filesystems. This was more or less confirmed when I checked the Phoronix benchmarks for Postgres performance and btrfs actually crashed on pgbench for most of the benchmarks. (ext4 was fastest, beating even f2fs on NVMe/SSD.)
