I'm glad to hear that. I like btrfs a lot but I thought the decision to go with it by default was a bit risky. Now I think it's the best option in the long run... good luck with that.

I've been running btrfs on laptops as /home since January 2009 without incident so far, though I'm not what you'd call a big disk space user.

Me too, I was using Btrfs for the whole system except for /boot because grub doesn't know how to handle it. I didn't hit any problem with it but after a good while I decided to go back with ext4 because boot times was slower with Btrfs.
