WRT "is a file storage format that combines a file system based on the copy-on-write..." Seems odd to call it a computer storage format. It's a file system, right? It's not a way to store computers ;) This seems cleaner: "is a file system based on the copy-on-write..." Stevebroshar (talk) 12:22, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you might have missed the word "computer" in your first quote. Anyway, it seems to me that Btrfs serves the functions of both a file system and a logical volume manager, as the lede says. Therefore it's more than just a file system. Your quotes didn't capture that second part, so it's not a fair rewording here on the talk page. — voidxor 15:39, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
