I would expect the ZFS support in FreeBSD to be better, although apparently
the Linux version (outside of the mainline kernel due to license
compatibility issues) is now what the other operating systems have decided
to work from in future releases.
ZFS is reputedly very good (data check sums, copy-on-write, redundancy if
you have multiple drives, etc.). I suppose my recommendation is really for
ZFS, and if you want to take the ZFS for Linux route with a separately
compiled kernel module, that option seems to be open too.

Out of curiosity, why would you suggest Free BSD over Linux? For a blind
person, aren't the choices for Free BSD to have a machine with a serial port
or get sighted assistance to install it?

I would be inclined to suggest obtaining a small machine, adding drives to
it, installing FreeBSD, setting up zfs, editing configuration files for
Samba, nfs or whatever you need... and the problem goes away.
