I haven't really gotten a chance lately to dig into it as much as I want, but I have heard that BTRFS is actually doing pretty well, with lots of updates in the last year that fix the middle-ground bugs, with a few big bugs still out there (such as raid6 mode in general). The main big data file system I am keeping my eye on is HAMMER2... but development is slow. I really like a lot of things Matthew Dillon is doing there though, especially the network stack. If I were doing a new isp or wisp I would probably be basing it on dflybsd.

I mainly mean that it'll be a while before btrfs stabilizes and even then, it's been how many next-gen file systems in floss land each with critical issues, usually non-technical in nature in even the past 5 years?

  Kind of weird how Linux filesystems always seem to have problems....it seems like that's the sort of problem open source would do a reasonable good job at.

    Do they have more problems or more users in many more different situations? And then they are vocal... ZFS has this sterling reputation but a fair number of people have actually lost data to it. Some of it is bad hardware,orb ad choices in hardware, some of it is bad administration, it's still happened.
