Hello !

Given :

• The horrible patent mine-field around exFAT (official filesystem pre-formatted on retail µSDXC cards), requiring you to reformat the >32GB cards to something more friendly anyway.
• The few advantage making BTRFS even more interesting than EXT4 (checksuming, copy-on-write, subvolumes, on-the-fly Zlib/LZO compression)
• BTRFS was a first class citizen back on the Jolla 1

It would be very nice to have the BTRFS filesystem built-in into the Sailfish X kernel. Current reports by those who have finished installing is that it is not currently available.

I'll take probably some time next week to compile myself (like I did with the NTFS fuse support), and I'll make sure to make it available.

But it would be great if Jolla could consider enabling it in the kernel (like it was on Jolla 1) for those sailors who don't fear the BTRFS management weirdness.
