Hopefully everybody got some knowledge on BTRFS today. I didn't get a
chance to cover some topics like snapshots, gotchas, and more
importantly, the troubles I had (mostly self-inflicted) and how I
recovered from them. Maybe the latter is better left for a blog post.

Anyway, I've posted the slides (as-used) on my blog[1]. Also, I believe
they will be added to kwlug.org.

If anybody wants to try out BTRFS, I don't want to discourage you,
HOWEVER, I can't stress the importance of backups enough. BTRFS can be
treated like a "normal" filesystem, but you can experiment and
enable enough extra features that will quickly leave you in a bit of
pain.

If there are any other questions, please post them to the list. There
were a lot in the meeting, and probably some we didn't get to for time.
