BTRFS devs seem to think only one is somehow better due to its inclusion of LVM technology.
There is no „inclusion of LVM technology“ in BTRFS. LVM provides you with several separate filesystems, completely independent from each other. A file system failure in one LVM volume does not affect any of the other volumes. All data in other volumes are safe. In BTRFS, everything is a single huge file system, (sub)volumes are just logical groupings within a single, in the worst case faulty, file system. The advantage of BTRFS is greater flexibility and effectiveness of disk capacity usage, at the expense of data protection.
WHat is the reason Peter behind xfs being used on the server edition and btrfs on the workstation? I pretty much stick with ext3. I don't even use ext4 really. I've never used xfs.
