 24	  Btrfs is a general purpose copy-on-write filesystem with extents,
 25	  writable snapshotting, support for multiple devices and many more
 26	  features focused on fault tolerance, repair and easy administration.
 27
 28	  The filesystem disk format is no longer unstable, and it's not
 29	  expected to change unless there are strong reasons to do so. If there
 30	  is a format change, file systems with a unchanged format will
 31	  continue to be mountable and usable by newer kernels.

 91
 92	  - extent map shrinker - performance problems with too frequent shrinks
 93
 94	  - send stream protocol v3 - fs-verity support
 95
 96	  - checksum offload mode - sysfs knob to affect when checksums are
 97	                            calculated (at IO time, or in a thread)
 98
 99	  - raid-stripe-tree - additional mapping of extents to devices to
100			       support RAID1* profiles on zoned devices,
101			       RAID56 not yet supported
102
103	  - extent tree v2 - complex rework of extent tracking

50	  after a power-loss or kernel panic event the filesystem is
51	  in a consistent state.
