> Btrfs is NOT constantly eating people data

Tell it to my data then. I was 100% invested in Btrfs before 2017, the year where I lost a whole filesystem due to some random metadata corruption. I then started to move all of my storage to ZFS, which has never ever lost me a single byte of data yet despite the fact it's out of tree and stuff. My last Btrfs filesystem died randomly a few days ago (it was a disk in cold storage, once again random metadata corruption, disk is 100% healthy). I do not trust Btrfs in any shape and form nowadays. I also vastly prefer ZFS tooling but that's irrelevant to the argument here. The point is that I've never had nothing but pain from btrfs in more than a decade

8 years ago was the first time that person encountered a problem with btrfs. But that wasn’t the last apparently:

8 years is not a long time.
