You seem running after the future, Avik, never satisfied with what is existing right now. But look, EXT4 is in the mainstream and will be soon usable even if it cannot directly be compared with BTRFS or ZFS.

Extents, delayed allocation, atomic quota switch (i.e. no time window and hence races between mounting the fs and running quotaon), bulk quota scanning, and, on the implementation side, B+ tree, 16 Exabytes volume size, 8 Exabytes file size -- someone remind me of how long XFS has been around, thank you. Ext4 is like how many years late?
