I use BTRFS in raid1 mode, and do daily, weekly, and monthly snapshots. It can accept disks that are not all same size for raid1. So, I use leftover disks from upgrades. But, I still use EXT4 for boot/root drive. -- On 2024-11-21 18:01, Giles Orr via talk wrote:
I just (finally) looked up the features of Btrfs, and it sounds fantastic. Possibly ZFS-adjacent but without the nightmarish license problems? Am I missing something? It's in the kernel, but if it was that good, lots of distros would be defaulting to it .. and they're not. A couple have tried, but it hasn't taken off. Can someone fill me in with the details I'm missing?
