True enough. But with Redhat voting with their feet it will make the uptake of BTRFS much slower if at all. Remember Reiserfs? I was a great filesystem at least for my use. Much more reliable then the equivalent ext systems but non-technology related issues killed it.
I see what you did there ;)
There may be an open GPL version of ZFS(Open ZFS). There is bcachefs.
They may stick with XFS? There is always NILFS too. It's been a long time since the introduction of ZFS. COW/log structured (LS) filesystems still haven't really taken off. There heve been a lot of filesystem innovations that never flew. I'm starting to wonder if/when COW/LS will really get popular. The MS-Windows fuilesystem ReOS is COW apparently which may drive adoption of COW/LS filesystems even outside of MS-Windows. Cheers, Rob
