I notice this question on the wiki/faq:
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/UseCases#What_is_best_practice_when_partitioning_a_device_that_holds_one_or_more_btr-filesystems and as it hasn't been answered, can anyone make any comments on the subject Various things come to mind: a) partition the disk, create an LVM partition, and create lots of small LVs, format each as btrfs b) partition the disk, create an LVM partition, and create one big LV, format as btrfs, make subvolumes c) what about using btrfs RAID1? Does either approach (a) or (b) seem better for someone who wants the RAID1 feature? d) what about booting from a btrfs system? Is it recommended to follow the ages-old practice of keeping a real partition of 128-500MB, formatting it as btrfs, even if all other data is in subvolumes as per (b)? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
