A couple of weeks I installed Fedora 44 but not as an upgrade like I normally do. I had to do a clean install because btrfs indicated there was a problem with the file system. It became noticeable when a system backup was happening and it kept running into errors. At one point, the whole system went into read-only mode (which is what btrfs will do when it runs into an issue).
On reboot, everything "seemed" okay and the hardware checks didn't reveal any issue with the drive. However, the logs and btrfs' health check indicated an error. The suggestion was that it was safest to reformat the partition and reinstall everything and that's what I eventually did.
Fedora 44 worked without any problems and it was a quick install to get everything up-and-running again. It gave me a chance to rework my install scripts and update them. One package (golang-github-nvidia-container-toolkit) that was available in Fedora 43 for enabling Nvidia GPU access to containers was not available for Fedora 44. It seems like to get it approved for Fedora 44 so because of that I didn't try do upgrade the other machines. I'll see if the package will eventually get into the Fedora core package so I don't have to add the Copr repo just for that.
