Now is time for you to evaluate Btrfs.

• If you pick the right btrfs release/kernel (you can let Oracle or Suse do this for you), you can look at Btrfs for production use.

• Btrfs send/receive is mostly production ready and you can look at it today.

• Raid 5/6 still needs work, but is so much faster that it is worth your time to contribute code to it.

• Bedup (block dedup) also needs contributors, please help if it's interesting to you.

• In a nutshell, while Btrfs is still experimental, it is usable in production environment for its core features

• 2014 is the year for you to evaluate it.

• If you can contribute to it like Fujitsu does, thank you.
