I relly love ZFS. Problem is, Linux does not have root-on-zfs out of the box, so servers run FreeBSD+ZFS. Clients are still on EXT4 (although Ihave tried movieng that a couple of time) bit I do not prtiularly like LVM to work around intrinsic problems of some other  filesytems. BTRFS is something I always tried to use, but somehow ... well, no usecase, I guess.
