I wonder if the stability pros of btrfs outweigh the instability cons of btrfs; yes, snapshots might be nice, but if the filesystem gets easily corrupted, what kind of trade is that then? Call me wrong, I have no substantial opinions or expertise on filesystem stability.

How do you know it was btrfs, are you living in my walls?!

Well, jokes aside, it was a power outage. In my defense, I’ve survived dozens of power outages while using btrfs with almost no negative consequences!
