Nevertheless, I do have enlarged it in the meantime, and even moved it to a different disk (which is bloody easy with btrfs).
It is also easy if you use LVM. What I don't like about BtrFS is its "One FS To Rule Them All" attitude. Its not just a FS, but also, as many point out like Peter and JDD, a volume manager. Choose to use separation of function. If and when I run BtrFS I still run it in a LVM Logical Volume. Using LVM I can snapshot, do disk-to-disk backup or disk-to-disk-to-net-to-disk backups quite easily. I can also easily implement "thin provisioning". Ha! talk about putting "ten pounds in a five pound bag"! I can put (logical) 250Mb in a (physical) 50Mb partition! LVM lets me do the 'virtual memory' of disks! -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
