Hopefully acquiring Sun will accelerate Oracle's work on btrfs, and we Linux users can get our own copy-on-write system.

Sure Larry won't mind giving the world one more reason to abandon the Solaris OS he just bought. This is so Larry...

More likely Oracle will abandon work on BTRFS now that they have real ZFS.

Yeah, if I were Oracle I'd definitely throw away a native Linux filesystem in the late stages of development and start porting some goofy jock-ware from an alien kernel. But I'm not Oracle and so they're foolishly carrying on with their insane scheme: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/2880

Oracle have said that Solaris is the main reason they bought Sun.

Nothing I have said contradicts this.

Doubt it:
"""Theodore Ts'o, developer of ext3 and ext4 filesystems, said that Btrfs “has a number of the same design ideas that Reiser4 had” and that “the filesystem format has support for some advanced features that are designed to leapfrog ZFS.”""
