-A modern file system with a lot of advanced features. Its main advantage it to be a '''C'''opy-'''O'''n-'''W'''rite-filesystem
+A modern '''C'''opy '''o'''n '''W'''rite filesystem for Linux aimed at implementing advanced features while also focusing on '''fault tolerance''', '''repair''' and '''easy administration'''. Btrfs not only is a filesystem, but also is partly a volume manager, software-raid, backup-tool, and it is flash-friendly.
+Because btrfs is different, some things seem unfamiliar and strange. Then [https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page btrfs.wiki.kernel.org] is a good starting point to search for answers.
+Development of Btrfs started in 2007. Since that time, Btrfs is a part of the Linux kernel and is under active development. The Btrfs code base is '''stable'''. However, new features are still under development. Its main features and benefits are:
+* '''Snapshots''' which do not make the full copy of files
+* '''RAID''' - support for software-based RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10
+* '''Self-healing''' - checksums for data and metadata, automatic detection of silent data corruptions
