   I see it is supported in my current Debian Unstable 6.12.19 kernel. A   
   quick search did not turn up any reports of version-incompatibility   
   issues. Though the Arch Wiki  has a   
   comprehensive list of usage tips as well as a pretty detailed version   
   history.   
      
   I see nilfs2 mentioned as another similar contender.
