Hello,
I intend to move to BTRFS and of course I have some data already.
I currently have several single 4TB drives and I would like to move the
Data onto new drives (2*8TB). I need no raid, as I prefer a backup.
Nevertheless, having raid nice for availability. So why not in the end.
I currently use ~6TB, so it may work, but I would be able to remove the
redundancy later.
So, if I understand correctly, today I want
-m raid1 -d raid1
whereas later, I want
-m raid1 -d single
What is very important to me is, that with one failing drive, I have no
risk of losing the whole filesystem, but only losing the affected drive.
Is that possible with both of these variants?
Is it possible to move between the two (doing a balance, of course?
Any other thoughts/recommendations?
Greetings,
Hendrik
