I respect that Linux works for Netflix. However IMHO: BTRFS/ZoL doesn't beat Illumos ZFS. FreeBSD ZFS is pretty standalone in the OS; It can only since recently deal with a hot spare drive and thats it. IO scheduling on FreeBSD is spartan; It will always favor large IO and starve small read / writes. LXC doesn't beat FreeBSD jails or Solaris zones since LXC is not considered a security boundary. Openvswitch can perhaps measure itself with illumos crossbow. Systemd doesn't beat SMF on Illumos. I think SMF really nailed it (Systemd is overkill and plain RC scripts in FreeBSD are a pain). So IMHO Solaris/Illumos/SmartOS sits nicely between Linux and FreeBSD.
