Isn't it funny then that BTRFS supports growing and shrinking? Sounds like it's ...

Um, yeaaaah. Focused on enterprise. Which one do you think is more important to enterprise customers? Not being able to shrink or not having RAID.

It only had limited raid5/6 support. With embedded checksums and mirroring available that's not a terrible situation to be honest.

People have been working around the limitations of lvm and Linux raid for years... it's not such a big deal. The issue with BTRFS is the stability and consistent performance, especially when the disk gets close to being full.

Would definitely prefer BTRFS to be stable over having additional features...
