Currently displaying revision 4657ab69fde3aa3c097bb3787f874fc2 , Show latest

From: werner@suse.de
Upstream: marked as openSUSE-specific fix originally, but may well
	worth be to be sent upstream.

Original description:
	(none)

Augmented description [jengelh@inai.de]:
Disable COW on journal files, as that is naturally leading to a lot
of unwanted fragmentation on btrfs.
No word on compression…
