Does btrfs offer equivalent capabilities?

Subject: [clue] ZFS on Linux? 

Anyone doing this? As many of you may or may not know, I dabble in the 
BSDs from time to time, and one of those more recent outcomes of that 
dabbling was a FreeNAS server I set up about 2 years ago to support Time 
Machine for macs as well as content for a Plex server. 

I just sort of dove headlong into it, and didn't much background reading 
on ZFS itself. Since I'm now thinking of getting more drives (but cannot 
really afford them until maybe next year) and probably backing 
up/reconfiguring, I thought I'd read about it, so I picked up the 
FreeBSD Mastery: ZFS book and started reading it. 

They give a bit more background on ZFS - I didn't realize that Snoracle 
took it closed source after acquisition, and that what is commonly 
called "ZFS" is probably really OpenZFS, and that Snoracle has their own 
version now, different than what the rest of world calls ZFS. 

Anyway, I got to wondering about the state of ZFS on Linux and see there 
is a site: http://zfsonlinux.org/ 

Anyone here have any experience with it? Is ZFS poised to be a 
mainstream thing on Linux, or is there something else more likely to 
fill that role?
