Hi all,
I need to expand two bcache fronted 4xdisk btrfs raid 10's - this
requires purchasing 4 drives (and one system does not have room for two
more drives) so I am trying to see if using raid 5 is an option
I have been trying to find if btrfs raid 5/6 is stable enough to use but
while there is mention of improvements in kernel 4.12, and fixes for the
write hole problem I cant see any reports that its "working fine now"
though there is a phoronix article saying Oracle is using it since the
fixes.
Is anyone here successfully using btrfs raid 5/6? What is the status of
scrub and self healing? The btrfs wiki is woefully out of date :(
