Is btrfs becoming more common ?

You posted this:

I am using Openmediavault (debian based NAS distribution), which is not 
actively supporting btrfs

It is this that I was referring to.

Possibly, but it works great with ext4

I suggest you sit down with a copy of 'man smb.conf' and remove all the 
default lines, then add either 'security = user' or 'server role = 
standalone server', you will also have to remove 'unix password sync = 
no' and create users (with passwords) to get your Standalone Server 
working correctly.
