So two filesystems that are essentially shunned from the Linux kernel and permanent second-class citizens, and one that was removed from Red Hat and has a questionable history of reliability. Oh boy which do I choose?
I'm saying ZFS on another OS.
no thanks to red hat. i switched to debian for servers. fedora fortunately still supports btrfs.
zfs is shunned. can't really get around that copyright issue. bcachefs just hit a setback, which i am hopeful will eventually be resolved.

Well except for Ubuntu, one of the most popular Linux distros supporting it.
The copyright issue is not really that big, except from some devs who decided to sure Ubuntu :V
But there's a LOT of FUD about it.
xfs/lvm-raid10 or ext4/lvm-raid10, obviously.
If I'm forced to use Linux, sure.
I could drop bricks on and cord pull those all day and they would not lose data. Which is a small ask for a filesystem IMO.
would want to have compression..

I learned about VDO today. [0][1] I'd never heard of it before, but I'm using Gentoo Linux and both the dm-vdo kernel module and the 'vdo' software provided by [1] are distributed by Gentoo... so this isn't some weirdo Red Hat thing. It looks like you manage and used these just like any other thin-provisioned LVM volume [2], but -like I said- I've not used this before, and have only just skimmed the docs, so it's possible that I'm missing something important.
