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.

As long as the hardware functions as it should (e.g. respects barriers) and there is no software bug in the stack, no.

That's a highly unlikely scenario though. Make backups.

As long as there are no problems with the btrfs code? Hahahahaha!! There are.

And also in any other filesystem's code or the block layers below the filesystem. As I said, unlikely scenario.

I had some kernel panics here and there... but the last one panic was fatal. Suddenly a lot of /usr/lib/lib.so files were empty and also X11 stopped working...
