I'm quite fond of btrfs. Not brave enough to run it for my /home...
yet. Happy so far? Figure I'd wait until an OS distribution or two
standardizes on btrfs and the huge increase in adoptions works out the bugs.
In particular the occasionally disk full can become a major issue on
btrfs last I heard.
I noticed your /home is encrypted... why? What is your use case? The
reason I ask is that I generally recommend against it. Linux in
particular will leak information into /tmp, /var, swap, and related
places. Usually if it's worth encrypting, it's worth encrypting the
entire disk.
