We are headed that way with Rockstor open source project. It's an advanced NAS platform based on BTRFS features and also has docker based app framework built-in called Rock-ons. Shameless plug, but only because it's highly relevant.

More power on the edges of the internet please!!!

For a btrfs NAS use case, I suggest Rockstor. It ships with bleeding edge kernels from elrepo and is pretty much exclusively btrfs.

Thanks for your concern, but we don't see a point in just removing it in git because it doesn't really help. the key is in several branches, in our iso file, every rockstor rpm in our yum repo and not to mention lot of users who have downloaded rockstor.

We changed the key in our live demo, but for our users we'll roll out the fix in the next update. As part of that fix, we'll also remove the key file from git.

I think that's a reasonable plan. Hope I am not missing something.

I wish I knew first hand how Rockstor would work with backblaze. But 45drives can ship them with CentOS which is what Rockstor is based on.

I've had the opportunity to install Rockstor on various hp gen7 and gen8 servers and had no problems.

I witnessed Rockstor install just fine on an old Isilon node and was told that the performance was quite good -- sorry I have no specifics.

Thank you, I couldn't agree more. It's a tall order and we have work cut out.

I've started to do some DR testing myself, but it will take a little while to publish our findings and recommendations.

That is great feedback for us. I've added a documentation issue with your feedback: https://github.com/rockstor/rockstor-doc/issues/37

We have added appliances <-> appliance replication recently, which can play an important role in recovering from bigger disasters.

We'll have all that documented. Please feel free to participate on our github.

Thanks. We believe it's a matter of short time before btrfs will be trusted enough.

Can you elaborate on the permission-stuff issue you have? We'd love to get it right in Rockstor.

Yes, it's a simple redirect. that's where the demo is hosted for now.
