We have never supported btrfs, it's always been an unsupported Tech Preview.

If you have important data, you should move it to a supported filesystem such as XFS or ext4.

Hi Jamie,

I never said it was supported. but it was included with the hope for a support status. in principle there is a chance that there might be a useful support for such problems in lvm.

I would only be interested to know if there is a way to avoid this kind of problems in redhat.
