I even enjoyed BTRFS, actually. (And I am used to it enough to not having much problems with it.)

Saddly, after being burned by ENOSP problems partially due to no optimally out-of-the-box configured btrfs partition and by badly designed recovery script (please, people, stop trying to use fsck-type programs on CoW and Log-structured FS like BTRFS, ZFS, UDF, F2FS, etc.), it seems that Jolla has decided to stop using it on device since Jolla C.

Too bad...
