I actually shifted back from BTRFS to ext4 and fell like having offered myself a brand new computer, about 20 times faster, me happy ;-) > Both btrfs and zfs are great, but IMHO btrfs is not ready for > daily use by "ordinary" user yet, while zfs is a memory hog > (especially for laptops, which is part of the reason why I'm using > btrfs instead of zfs on this one). True, ZFS is excellent but a memory hog (and strongly advises using a 64-bit OS) but I was surprised to discover that BTRFS was such a memory eater itself, with kernel 3.0. My system was swapping like mad ! I use (kernel) ZFS on my 64-bit main machine and I'm plain happy with it, and tried ZFS on my 32-bit laptop in the hope to get more performance for less memory ; alas I just got a memory-hungry system running damn slow... For the time being I will stick to ZFS for 64-bit machines with >= 4GB RAM, and to ext4 for 32-bit systems with less RAM... I don't feel that BTRFS gives any advantage in its current state of development.
