I had considered it for my server but the experimental status of BtrFS steered me away from it.  I'm really not ready to trust my data and backups to what is to me an untested file system.  I remember the pain that friends suffered from data corruption with ReiserFS.

Which makes me wonder why Oracle is making this move at this time.  Or laugh at the dogfood principle.
