Alternative FS OS Installs (btrfs, zfs)

[Kevin Fries]

I have tried both, and the built in nature of BTRFS has sold me over ZFS.
Both worked great for me, but BTRFS is batteries included.  That being
said, I pretty much exclusively use Arch which tends to have much more
current everything than Ubuntu.

Anyone using "alternative" file system methods like btrfs or zfs to boot
with?  Nothing seems too native, but can be made to work it seems, just
wondering if this is one of those "should do" vs. "can do".

The notion of something that can do raid, encryption, volume management,
and snapshot features is attractive, but I've always layered mdraid, luks
encryption, lvm, then ext atop that.  This has been pretty solid when the
ssd's don't die 3-6 months later, even with aligning partition to block
boundaries and such, trim, etc.  I'd love to have one single encrypted
partitions I can use volumes within for the os mounts, btrfs and zfs in
theory do most of this now.

How well is really the question...

Commentary appreciated!
