Dear list, if a larger RAID file system (say disk space of 8 TB in total) is created in mixed mode, what are the implications?
>From reading the mailing list and the Wiki, I can think of the following: + less hassle with "false positive" ENOSPC - data and metadata have to have the same replication level forever (e.g. RAID 1) - higher fragmentation (does this reduce with no(dir)atime?) -> more work for autodefrag Is that roughly what is to be expected? Any implications on recovery etc.? In the specific case, the file system usage is as follows: * data spread over ~20 subvolumes * snapshotted with various frequencies * compression is used * mostly archive storage * write once * read infrequently * ~500GB of daily rsync'ed system backup Thanks in advance, Lukas -- 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
