I don't trust btrfs, and xfs poses problems when used for root; for data 
it is perfect.

I have a raid 6 with 8 active disks, LUKS encrypted and using btrfs with 
compression. It has developed an error, impossible to correct (I don't 
know how, got advice about what to do, but took days and it aborted. 
Eventually will redo with XFS instead).
