Some links, none of which are new as this occurred some time ago now.
I think this link is the most useful. BTRFS has worked quite solidly for me for years. The main deficiency of BTRFS is that RAID-5 and RAID-6 are not usable as of the last reports I read. For a home server RAID-1 is all you need (2 or 3 largish SATA disks in a RAID-1 gives plenty of storage). The way BTRFS allows you to extend a RAID-1 filesystem by adding a new disk of any size and rebalancing is really handy for home use. The ZFS limit of having all disks be the same size and upgraded in lock step is no problem for corporate use. Generally I recommend using BTRFS for workstations and servers that have 2 disks. Use ZFS for big storage. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
