Hi all, Is RAID6 still considered unstable so I shouldn't use it in production? The latest I could find about a test scenario is more than a year ago (http://marc.merlins.org/perso/btrfs/post_2014-03-23_Btrfs-Raid5-Status.html)
I want to build a new NAS (6 disks of 4TB) on RAID6 and prefer to use btrfs over zfs, but the latter is proven stable and I am unsure about btrfs... Main usage for me would be to able to replace 1 or 2 failing (or going to fail) drives and be able to extend it in the future with more disks. The data on it shouldn't get corrupted unless the building were it's in is destroyed ;) So should I go for btrfs? NB: I am running happily a RAID5 btrfs with 4x2TB disks in it, but you'll just know the value of the filesystem when something goes wrong. Yes I know RAID5/6 is not a backup ;) Cheers, Sjoerd -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
