minus-square@SpeakinTelnetlink10•30 days agoMy only gripe with btrfs is that I’ve had systems come down from a single drive failure in raid quite “often” when compared to other FS. ZFS is a ram hog but I always could do a live resilvering without downtime.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•29 days agobtrfs’s RAID features are not production-ready, and at this point I doubt they ever will be. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs#Implemented_but_not_recommended_for_production_use https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Btrfs https://www.phoronix.com/news/Btrfs-Warning-RAID5-RAID6 ZFS is definitely more robust.
minus-square@SpeakinTelnetlink5•29 days agoIt is true for raid 5 & 6. Raid 0, 1, and 10 are supposed to be production ready. I use raid 10 only with btrfs, anything else and I use zfs or mdadm.

minus-squarePossibly linuxlinkfedilinkEnglish2•29 days agoRaid 1 is stable. The problem is that btrfs has performance issues with resilvering a large amount of data. That isn’t something that can be fixed as it is a design flaw. Maybe bcachfs will be production ready at some point

I wouldn’t go above two disks
