I have a well tested and working fine Centos5-Xen system. Accumulated
cruft from various development efforts make it desirable to redo the
install. Currently a RAID-10 ext4 filesystem with LVM and 750G of
storage. There's a hot spare 750 drive in the system.
I'm thinking of migrating the web sites (almost the only use of the
server) to a spare then installing Centos-7 and btrfs, then migrating
the sites back.
I see RH marks btrfs in C7 as a technology preview but don't
understand what that implies for future support and a suitably stable
basis for storage.
The demand on the system is low and not likely to change in the near
future, storage access speeds are not likely to be dealbreakers and it
would be nice to not need to use LVM, btrfs seems to have a better
feature set and more intuitive command set. But I'm uncertain about
stability. Anyone have an opinion?
