Thanks for all the answers from all you guys. They are really very much appreciated! Taken together, it seems I am left with the following options: 1) Btrfs/RAID1 with lvmcache: Not well proven, at least partly buggy. Caches can be easily added and removed to existing partitions. 2) BTRFS/RADI1

Hello I want to setup a small homeserver, based on a HP Microserver Gen8 (4GB RAM, 2x3TB HDD + 1x120GB SSD) and Proxmox as distro. The server will be used to host a (small) number of virtual machines, most of them being LXC containers, few being KVM machines. One of the LXC containers will host a

It's probably best to copy al my data to another disk, then delete the parttiion and make a new ext4 partition. btrfs is probably still too experimental, I guess. Am 30.04.2014 08:37, schrieb Neuer User: > Hi > > I have a non-rootfs btrfs partition that I use for some work where I

Hi I have a non-rootfs btrfs partition that I use for some work where I like to keep some snapshots. The partition is about 160GB big and has about 80-90 GB of data. I often see the following errors: Apr 29 20:41:24 DesktopMB kernel: [47030.195270] INFO: task sync:2450 blocked for more than 120
