btrfs has many ZFS like features, and it is in the mainline kernel and 
on the way to stability. Still experimental and in flux though.

Of course, our fine friends at Oracle (who employ the btrfs developer) 
now own the ZFS code and could relicense it if they see fit. Whether or 
not it would get accepted in the mainline kernel is another matter.
