U've run systems with only BtrFS as the whole drive. Right now I have a 1T drive with LVM and all of /+/usr is BtrFS and all of /home is another BtrFS. Photos, music, database and email ARCHIVE (i.e. big files) are still Reiser.
There is a LOT of literature on the BtrFS just a google away. Start with that until you have specifics to ask and them come back to me.
As an old Reiserfs fan I'm interested in trying BtrFS, but I ran into a fatal bug last year with partitions exceeding 16-TB. I reported the issue on Bugzilla, but haven't followed up since then. Is it safe now for large partitions? Regards, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
