ZFS vs Btrfs

ZFS vs Btrfs

So I could not get rid of my slow initial non cached reads on my 8 drive 4 vdev striped mirrors so I started researching other file systems and started looking at Btrfs. Although not as mature and full featured as ZFS yet, I thought what the heck. Its only a home lab and I make regular backups.

WOW. I am very happy so far. My initial non cached read wows are gone. I get reads and writes at 500MB+ across my 10Gb Ethernet DAC to/from PC/NAS. Here are a couple links that tell the story.
