Except ownCloud. ;-) Not a power failure, but twice in the last 6 months I had a random reboot that left me unable to mount my root btrfs partition until I booted into a live CD to run 'btrfs check'. I've been trying out using subvolumes instead of partitions, but next reinstall I'm going back to ext4. I suppose it's possible that it was the btrfs error that caused the random reboot, not the other way around, but that's hardly better. Chris
