btrfs is suffering from a lot of old bad publicity and some poor design decisions around RAID.

But by now it is a great file system if you don't go near RAID5/6. btrfs has its flaws (ZFS has its own flaws!). However:

- It's used a lot, especially by facebook and Redhat (on fedora)

- Gets a lot of testing

- Sees a lot of bug fixes

- Has a lot of features

I haven't read btrfs code but given that it is a popular file system and Linux code quality tends to be good in popular subsystems I would hesitate to say its code quality is worse than ZFS in any way.

btrfs is pathetic when it comes to performance. So no, thanks.

		In real world scenarios, where file based backups fail, one needs to add at least lvm. And only than those benchmarks would be more interesting to me.
