Thank you for your input. After your response, I read a little bit
about btrfs. It seems the feature set is quite enticing. I am
considering using it except that there seems to be a lack of gui tools
for it. I am not very familiar with dealing with filesystems,
otherwise I am a quite comfortable command line user.

Apart from a howtoforge article and a couple of pages on the btrfs
wiki I couldn't find beginner level documentation to get familiar with
the command line tools for btrfs. Could you point me to some resources
to get started?

Thanks a lot everyone who responded.
