> Fedora Postpones Btrfs Filesystem Switch To Fedora 17

> 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.

It looks like this has been going on since last November.  The guy
over at Oracle keeps putting the community off.  My FS got corrupted
in a power supply where my UPS battery died.  I have been waiting a
month for this fix, it looks like a lot of people have been waiting
much longer.

Is this the future of Linux courtesy of Oracle?
