Hi Qu, I'll split this part into a new thread:

Yes, I understand that this is what I should do given what you explained. My main problem is knowing how to segment things so I don't end up with filesystems that are full while others are almost empty :) Am I supposed to put LVM thin volumes underneath so that I can share the same single 10TB raid5? If I do this, I would have software raid 5 < dmcrypt < bcache < lvm < btrfs That's a lot of layers, and that's also starting to make me nervous :) Is there any other way that does not involve me creating smaller block devices for multiple btrfs filesystems and hope that they are the right size because I won't be able to change it later?
