Well.. btrfs has some nice tricks up it's sleeve (many of them
similar to ZFS). And, having worked with ZFS for some time now, the
way ZFS 'thinks' about filesystems is a huge step ahead from RAID/LVM/
classical unix filesystems.

For me it's one of those "why haven't we always done stuff this way?"
situations.
