If anyone is wondering, I suspect you could take IPS and integrate with btrfs instead. The abstractions are generic and btrfs is growing the required functionality as time goes on.
- laumars 13y agoI tried to do just this myself and Btrfs ended up corrupting my install beyond use. Thankfully this was just on a test system and I do appreciate that other people have had good success with Btrfs; but as a ZFS user for quite a few years now (since before Linux and FreeBSD ports became stable - so my file servers were originally running Solaris) and have never had an issue with the file system (in fact it's saved me a few times), I can't help thinking that Btrfs is still a long way off being a viable contender. What's more, I found Btrfs's commands to be convoluted and, at times, counter-intuitive when compared with ZFS's. Which isn't a deal breaker on it's own, but it is a great shame given the opportunity they had to get it right (ie writing the entire software stack from scratch and with no legacy to worry about). This is all my personal experiences though. Others will have their own preferences and (anecdotal) evidence to support that.
