Well, I'm a recent FreeNAS owner and though I'm still learning the ropes, i've
got to say ZFS is pretty damn cool.  Take a snapshot, rollback, etc., all with
essentially limitless ability to be scripted and customized.  I'm still
swimming in water over my head, but what I've seen impresses me.

openSUSE now provides BTRFS on its newest release:

But their caveats don't exactly fill me with confidence it's ready for
primetime.
