Some people do Postgres on compressed ZFS volumes to great success.

I am curious if you know anyone using Btrfs for this too. I like ZFS, but it Btrfs can do this it would be easier to use with some distros, etc. as it's supported in kernel.

  • I do it.

    The big problem for me from running DB on Btrfs is that when I delete large dirs or files (100GB+), it locks disk system, and Db basically stop responding on any queries.

    I am very surprised that FS which is considered prod grade having this issue..
