Although in a very early state I'm soooo excited about this filing system. In stead of whining about 'ZFS for Linux' I think this project has a higher change of succeeding in being the 'next-generation' filing system for Linux. I'm not saying it's better than ZFS, but is doesn't have the political issues of ZFS.
Also I get the idea that kernel community is waiting in anticipation for this stuff. And now Hans R. is probably going to jail for a long time we can forget Reiser4...
Long live BTRFS!
