Since it doesn't look like I'll be using BTRFS for my application, I too would appreciate hearing about experiences with ZFS as an alternative. Unfortunately, the application we're using is only available for CentOS-6, so we'll have to pressure the developer to release his CentOS-7 code, but we've got a year to do it, so it's probably do-able.
Thanks in advance!
