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..

Try XFS if you havn’t yet.

Very solid and no such issues.

I haven't used XFS in almost two decades, does it have compression support in the same way? Also, does it do JBOD stuff? I know it's a bit of a different thing, but I really enjoy the pool many disks together part of Btrfs, although it has its limitations.
