Hi,<BR>
<BR>
I'm currently using btrfs raid 1 for a production server with 4 LXC containers (SL6.x) on it (old single core opteron w/ 4GB ECC RAM). The host is Fedora 16. So far I'm really happy with it. I do create snapshots of mercurial repos frequently with no problems at all. As to nilfs, my understanding of the Log based FSs points to them being really useful for something like a high load mail server. I do have this idea of testing nilfs for a postfix server, albeit NetBSD one. Could you share some of your observations of the nilfs and why do you think it could be beneficial for LXC, besides snapshots, as those can be done with both LVM and btrfs at this point.<BR>

Has anyone real experience with NILFS (<A HREF="http://www.nilfs.org/">http://www.nilfs.org/</A>)?
A small test of mine with LXC 0.7.5 on Ubuntu 10.04 with NILS was
sucessfull and I really like to have snapshots, but I have reservations to
migrate my LXC production environment from ext4 to NILFS. Changing the
file system is one thing one REALLY have to think of carefully.
