What are your opinions on BTRFS in production?
My opinion on BTRFS is on paper looks much better for my clients than ZFS,
One thing which I may be wrong on but how BTRFS unlike ZFS it distributes whole files over the drives which is less write intensive over all the drives and in theory we could use 'Pro' consumer SSD's (INTEL S3520)? What is your opinion on that?
Also if one drive fails only the files on that drive are missing of the array given there is a back-up then we are ok.
My
BTRFS Pro:
Ability to expand pool as needed
Distributes whole files not bytes over drives
Use Intel S3520
BTRFS Cons (ZFS Pro):

Happy to hear any thoughts on this...
