Putting aside the troubles btrfs have made with Jolla 1, I think that it will be very useful to have btrfs support also with Jolla C. Due to several reasons that have been discussed here (small filesystem size, old kernel version,...), btrfs may be problematic for the root filesystem. However, while using it for a well sized sdcard (let's say 64GB) not only all these problems don't show up so often, but many btrfs features become very convenient instead (checksums, wear leveling, easy snapshots, subvolume mounting, etc).

Yeah, Jolla 1 "pushed" me to use btrfs on the sdcard and I haven't regretted it yet.
