As long as you're using normal LVM, there is no need to change your layout. > I would think if you had really big 3390 devices that btrfs makes sense. > But still working with mod-9s it doesn't seem like the right fit. When using it as a *filesystem* the backing store has no impact. If you're thinking of using multiple physical volumes, you have the same question(s) with LVM: how many and how big? > I'm still putting / on a minidisk and then creating a large LVM and > breaking out > home > srv > tmp > usr > var > opt > into logical volumes in the LVM. Looks fine, Mark. Isolating root (or at least /boot) is a great idea. Any one of the above could be a BTRFS (as an FS, not vol mangler) candidate. You might also consider TMPFS for /tmp. It's much faster if you don't need huge /tmp capacity or persistence. -- Rick Troth Senior Software Developer Velocity Software Inc.
