> butterFS = btrfs, the filesystem. People often call it butterFS in conversation, even though the btr stands for b-tree.
This isn't a common spelling for Btrfs, and just added confusion for me since I didn't immediately follow the reference in your original comment (I assumed it was something new). It may be a common spoken pronunciation but writing 'butterFS' in a forum comment is more characters/keystrokes than 'btrfs', so I'd consider it a typo/error to be corrected rather than a technical abbreviation to be defined.
