I had experimented with BTRFS some years ago as its virtual partitions feature is attractive for things like tmp, var, and usr where each is "separate" but is part of a larger fixed partition. Choosing proper sizes is eased somewhat. Other than that its not my choice, usually. In this case the card came already formatted with the root partition as BTRFS so I left it alone. An SSD is on order. I still have to use a micro-SD card for the boot partition as the MICRO cannot boot directly to the SSD as far as I know. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
