[arch-general] btrfs & Arch

Hello!

After package manager which can server both official repos & AUR,there is
another thing which I consider before returning back to Arch - filesystem.

On FreeBSD I now use zfs running on two 1TB disks in mirror (raid-1) mode.

I'd like to have similar setup on Arch, but without using lvm2+raid-1 (if
possible), so I did research a bit about zfs on Linux and it looks that the
'real' name for it is Btrfs.

Afaics, btrfs will soon get fsck tool for repairing the fs, but I wonder what's
the plan for btrfs support in Arch, iow, when it can become 'official' ?


Sincerely,
Gour
