That was the general opinion on the IRC channel when I brought it up.
Porting zfs is the way to go, then.
BTW, I thought Haiku as an organization was not too keen on having GPL
code in the default builds? What makes btrfs okay as a possible future
filesystem?

I did look at HAMMER, but zfs appears more promising. I'm not too fond
of Oracle either. The tech is already out there, though, and they
can't take it back. DeadYak tells me people are still working on zfs.
It already works on the BSDs, there's a Linux FUSE implementation, and
rumors about Apple using it in OS X abound (there were even a few
developer builds with zfs support). It doesn't look like zfs is going
anywhere anytime soon :)
