I think this rules out ZFS for me... The main thing in ZFS's favor was to have it backed by sun, but if it's been forked and is going off in it's own direction then that kinda puts it on equal footing with btrfs from my perspective.

FWIW, XFS over LVM might be another alternative. RHEL7 appear to be going down that path:

It does not do snapshots directly, leaving that job for the volume manager.

(I haven't personally used XFS yet (or ZFS or Btrfs for that matter. IKR, I haven't lived! ;])

Crispy.
