Drexx, I don't think Oracle will kill small fries like ZFS on Solaris, when you can kill the big kanuha... the whole OpenSolaris project itself!
Anyways, back to the subject. What is your purpose or objective (snapshots, remote cloning, deduplication, etc.)? From there, we can deduce which one. It may just happen that ext3/4 can meet your needs. ZFS has proven itself for many years on an Solaris Platform. Working with it at home and on the enterprise market, no showstoppers or serious bugs that I have encountered. Like you, Have been testing and monitoring BTRFS as well for quite some time. Casual usage is fine and okay, and as long you take note of the "Gotchas" on their wiki. I personally would not trust for now important data yet. Maybe wait after a few months or next year. Have read that they are aiming (Oracle) for a stable october release this year. A plus is that Linus is personally testing it as well. IMHO, if it's ZFS vs. BTRFS, for a general all-purpose File system *now*, go with ZFS. Otherwise, BTRFS if you have good backups or non important files to use. regards, Andre | http://www.varon.ca On Sun, Aug 15, 2010 at 1:23 AM, Drexx Laggui [personal] <[email protected]> wrote: > 15Aug2010 (UTC +8) > > > I think I'll go with Linux BTRFS instead of the Solaris ZFS.
