Hello,
Just installed factory dvd (on virtualbox), default is BTRFS and *lots* of partitions/volumes.
any *simple* pointer to some clues about how to deal with it? All what I have found is too hard for my poor head :-(
Give me a clues as to where to start that you haven't found by googling and reading the comparisons with other FS. Its a btree FS, said to be the successor to Reiser and offering mechanisms for dealing with SDD. If offers many optimizations that we're probably not in a position to make use of yet. 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. -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
