I am a bit confused and I have probably managed to outsmart myself. For about 15 months, I have been running my system on a single, large btrfs volume. It is RAID-0 on two SATA-III HDD's for a total of 1.9 TB. This is a home system running Siduction (Debian Sid) Linux. While I have root, home, and a special data directory each as separate subvolumes, I am beginning to wonder whether I should have made each of these on separate partitions and separate btrfs filesystems.
Am am at a point where I would like to do a fresh install of my OS without losing my home and data contents. And I do not think separate btrfs subvolumes will help me on that. Is that correct? Is there a way to prevent an OS installation from formatting the /home and /data subvolumes while completely replacing the root subvolume? Or do I need to completely repartition my drives so I don't get into this situation, again?
