Btrfs
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs
Stable: Yet to be released
Features
As of Linux 3.2 (released January 4, 2012), btrfs implements:
*)Online defragmentation
*)Online volume growth and shrinking
*)Online block device addition and removal
*)Online balancing (movement of objects between block devices to balance load)
*)Object-level RAID0, RAID1, and RAID10
*)Subvolumes (one or more separately-mountable filesystem roots within
  each physical partition)
*)Transparent compression (zlib and LZO)
*)Snapshots (read-only or copy-on-write clones of subvolumes)
*)File cloning (copy-on-write on individual files, or byte ranges thereof)
*)Checksums on data and metadata (CRC-32C)
*)In-place conversion (with rollback) from ext3/4 to Btrfs
*)File system seeding (Btrfs on read-only storage used as a copy-on-write
  backing for a writeable Btrfs)
*)Block discard support (reclaims space on some virtualized setups
  and improves wear leveling on SSDs with TRIM)

Linux 3.3 (18 Mar 2012)
1. Prominent features in Linux 3.3
  2. Btrfs: restriping between different RAID levels, improved balancing,
     improved debugging tools
  http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.3#head-1f03b4babafb1049bea35793c2c0fb91fae48cd4
  Improved balancing, raid restripping
  Improved debugging
