i should clarify that i meant i also use dm-crypt, but if you use whole disk encryption, you layer btrfs on top of dm-crypt, not the other way around

Looks like reflink is finally stable in 4.16. Pretty nice to see all the love XFS is getting recently.
XFS, obviously. It's a lot stabler because it's
1) Made by SGI, who was a pretty good company
2) A lot older/tested (default on RedHat)
3) Less systemdesque in responsibility/functionality (as I said, btrfs like ZFS tries to replace stuff like LVM and mdraid without any reasons other than NIH).

umm honey...

If even RedHat, which suffers a lot from NIH, dropped btrfs I don't see how the project can still have a future

I was also using btrfs on top of dm-crypt too.

FAT16. That's cool but I have a bit more respect for FAT64... err I mean exFAT.

Why doesn't ZFS get more love here?

Personally for me it's a combination of its license and the fact that you need to dedicated a large amount of memory to it. Allocating the recommend amount of RAM for all my current harddrives in my computer would use up all of the RAM I have in it.

I use ZFS for my NAS. It's really fucking nice.
ZFS does best when you build a machine dedicated to having it though, which typically isn't a general use machine.
No one talks about it here because:
-Years ago, there were annoying faggots that treated ZFS as a holy gospel that could do no wrong and you are a filthy fucking ext4 sinner,
-This place is filled with reactionary faggots, who will go to fantastic lengths to make mountains out of molehills about it's shortcomings because of the previous point.
