[Bug 2115454] Re: btrfs-progs-6.6.3 in 24.04 1.5+ year old. Crucial for data integrity. lots of bugs fixed since. Please update

 

I'm personally affected by this very serious bug that I reported to Ubuntu about half a year ago here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/btrfs-tools/+bug/2091894

As described in this bug, the BTRFS partition usually soon become
UNUSABLE due to lack of unallocated space.

v6.6.3 is simply behind the Ubuntu 24.04 kernel version, which is
already unsafe for data.
