Yeah. These ZFS issues look like they are deal breakers. In this use case btrfs could really be a good idea - afaik cgroup and kernel integration is better there.

> I'd love to hear about your experience with BtrFS. What issues have you seen with it (single disk, or RAID0 -- I know RAID1, 5, and 6 are hokey at best)? How did the project handle your issues?

Single disk, no RAID - lockups, broken filesystems (undeletable files), filesystem not mountable - however in recent kernels things are likely better (>4.8).

Performance and defrag are issues on btrfs, scrub and balance take all io and there are some warts... might be good enough for your use case, through. RAID-1 is not really double read-throughput, not sure how RAID-0 is implemented.

There is a mailinglist and and a bugzilla but the ZFS issue tracker was always more helpful.
