Well, first of all: I'm not trying to bash BTRFS at all, it probably is just not meant for me. However, I'm trying to gain information it is really considered stable (like rock solid) or it might have been a hardware Problem on my system.
I used cryptsetup with BTRFS because I encrypt all of my stuff. One day, the system froze and after reboot the partition was unrecoverably gone (the whole story[1]). Not a real problem because I had a recent backup, but somehow I lost trust in BTRFS that day. Anyone experienced something like that?
Since then I switched to ZFS (on the same hardware) and never had problems - while it was a real pain to setup until I finished my script [2], which still is kind of a collection of dirty hacks :-)
