FYI, while it's not the default filesystem, you can do the same on Oracle Linux 6 and 7 when using btrfs as the root filesystem and installing yum-plugin-fs-snapshot. btrfs is available in the default Oracle Linux 7 installer as a filesystem option and if you want to install OL6 with a btrfs root, use the UEK-based boot ISO and a network install source.
I believe the point was that it was "stable" subject to some serious omissions for things you would like to do .... particularly with "receive" being "totally disallowed" ...
Yeah, not sure why SUSE chose to disallow those features. Most of those (with the exception of the truly in-development stuff like RAID5/6) are allowed and supported on Oracle Linux. We believe btrfs to be stable even with those features active. Cheers, Avi
