Btrfs has a number of major new features including snapshots, checksum on both data and metadata, transparent compression, integrated RAID and even in-place conversion from Ext3/4. It also has support from major vendors including Red Hat, Intel and Fujitsu. Most distributions already offer it as a option and the future looks bright and shiny for Btrfs to dethrone Ext3/4 as future defacto filesystem in Linux. There is only one problem. The future is not here yet.
