Did BTRFS fix the Raid-5 problem or no?
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No, but according to this Phoronix article, they will fix the RAID56 issues soon:
The support for RAID56 is in development and will eventually fix the problems with the current implementation. This is a backward incompatible feature and has to be enabled at mkfs time.
That is taking a surprisingly long time TBH
Fedora uses BTRFS so I get the features are the best argument for it

But it seems F2FS is by far the fastest in many areas! Its used in Android, optimized for Flash storage.
