Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Will Have Btrfs


According to Sean Michael Kerner from InternetNews.com, the upcoming Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 operating system will have support for the Btrfs filesystem.

The Vice-President of Linux Engineering at Red Hat, Tim Burke, talked with Sean Michael Kerner, explaining him that Btrfs has been implemented and marked as experimental in the recently released Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 release, and the next major version, RHEL 7, will have full support for the Btrfs filesystem.

Moreover, Sean Michael Kerner also talked with Wim Coekaerts, Vice President of Linux Engineering at Oracle, who said that Oracle Linux will also have built-in support for the Btrfs filesystem.

Well, it looks like Btrfs will definitely be the default filesystem in many upcoming Linux distributions, including Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) and Fedora 18 (Spherical Cow).
