XFS does not support transparent compression, error detection and recovery, and (as yet) deduplication.

Fragmentation is also an issue, and xfs_fsr should be run at regular intervals to "defrag" an XFS file system. (I assume that) BtrFS handles this more intelligently.

I'd love to see XFS get some or all of these features.
