Overall I hear a lot of "btrfs is having this or that issues" which I never followed up properly. But it makes me wary.
I don't know if I could ever trust BTRFS ... I want to, but I see too many issues, far too often and file system problems are the last ones I want due to a buggy implementation or failed feature adjustments that just plain break things...
I am using ZFS on FreeBSD for at least 3 years in production now (and upgrade the kernel regularly when needed) without any issues.
Besides of early problems with nearly full ZFS and memory which were known.
On both fronts there seems to be improvement. E.g. I have 92% full ZFS volumes which are still performing - there was a 80% "warning" in the past, and I run ZFS on 3GB and 4GB RAM boxes and do not see issues.
How much storage? RAM was always a problem with ZFS, it seems to be a problem of the past now though and ZFS seems so much better. Cheers A.
