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.
