I have btrfs on a netbook spanning two differently sized SSDs as a single volume (running Arch, which is a revelation after Ubuntu). It just works, but I'm not sure it could be recovered other than from backup if it broke, and I wouldn't use it with a pre 2.6.38 / 3.0 kernel, as I had some (unrecoverable) issues with much earlier version (on VMs). The machine also has an encrypted (ecryptfs) home. In summary, I'm very content with it, and I take regular backups. -jh -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
