    My understanding is limited also and this is why I dislike Btrfs. I
embraces too many concepts, such as snapshots, RAID and wtf. I prefer to
stick to the "do one thing and do it well" philosophy and use md for
RAID, and a simpler filesystem. The best of all has long been Reiserfs,
but it has been deprecated recently; therefore I switched to Ext4, which
seems to me the less bad, despite its shocking lost+found directories.

    There's no reason to put thouthands of files per directory, but
lazyness. Some organization is necessary, at least for the mind.
