Yes I run BtrFS but not on RAID and not for any data or /home.
Back in the 3.11 days I had it corrupt /home. I've never had any problems with it just on / but regular readers will know that I use LVM and have almost everything I can migrated off /.
---- Ditto on that. Cept my raid meltdown was back under the 2.x kernels. Decided to go w/hardware raid or BIOS-raid for 1+0 setups.
I'm sure people here will express doubts about using RAID5 especially with just three spindles. But that's another matter.
??? How many should you have? My current root (haven't quite gotten up the gumption to xfr root to a RAID-10 based on orange-housing blinking lights -- despite the fact that the controller claims it is fine) has 2 data spindles, 1 parity. But it is running on 15000RPM disks that are 'short stroked' by about 50% to lower seek times. I figured my root would need more spread-out and smaller I/O's.
The only reason I'm running BtrFS at all is that I want to avoid the inode exhaustion problems I encounter with the ext[234] files systems and consider over-provisioning aesthetically displeasing.
---- xfs doesn't have those problems, but the new CRC-check on the meta data has me very worried -- You can't even change a disks GUID w/o the disk becoming corrupt. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
