The main thing in ZFS's favor was to have it backed by sun, but if it's been forked and is going off in it's own direction then that kinda puts it on equal footing with btrfs from my perspective. To address Russell's comment on ECC RAM, I think I'm going to take the position that it's probably taking it a bit too far, at least until I see some research on non-ECC memory causing bit-rot on checksummed file systems. I tend to think faulty ram is going to become obvious and not hide beneath the surface, and result in symptoms like the kernel panics that Russell experienced. Also, if I am going to error check memory then why stop at the file server? It means I have to have ECC memory in all clients that touch the data, including mobile devices, to cater for data corruption in RAM being written to disk.
