Thank you for this input -- yeah it's just so weird that BTRFS is in the mainline kernel, but no one wants to stand up for it, and people are evidently using it with great success (Facebook for example). I'm also not necessarily going to do any RAID5/6 stuff -- I'm probably just going to keep it safe (for my level of understanding) and do a RAID1/mirror setup and call it a day. The snapshots/cow/data integrity bit is definitely what I'm interested in as well. It feels to me like as long as I run ZFS under my servers I am much safer than anything else (and it's easier/possible to go back in time and undo mistakes). Unfortunately, there's that whole thing about it being hard to boot to.. Is that still a thing?
