Thanks for your explanation. If only ZFS was GPL licensed btrfs would probably never exist. I was very much interested in ZFS and invested a lot to learn the internals but the out-of-tree status of it and the fact that btrfs gets better and better with every kernel release probably means that btrfs will get ahead of ZFS some time in the future. (that's just my observation) FWIW it seems anecdotal evidence [0] shows that btrfs is stable for daily use (just don't use RAID 5/6 [1]).
