Looks like they are starting with the popular BTRFS, and then making the pun of this being "better," and also implying the Be tree data structure they use.

I bet it's intended to be pronounced "Better Eff Ess."

> Amanda: To clear this up, once and for all: is it pronounced BetterFS or ButterFS?

> Chris: <Grin> Definitely both.

But that's already how a lot of people pronounce Btrfs...

I thought everyone said butterface.

I'm definitely calling it that starting today.

I personally find it really douchey. BTRFS definitely had this first and using such a name in full knowledge of BTRFS is just in poor taste.
