Hi everybody,
first off, I'm not 100% sure if this is the right place to ask, so if
it's not, I apologize and I'd appreciate a pointer in the right direction.
I want to build a virtualization server to replace my current home
server. I'm thinking about a Debian system with libvirt/KVM. The
Hi,
thank you for your answers!
So it seems there are several suboptimal alternatives here...
MD+LVM is very close to what I want, but md has no way to cope with
silent data corruption. So if I'd want to use a guest filesystem that
has no checksums either, I'm out of luck.
I'm honestly a bit

BTRFS looks really nice feature-wise, but is not (yet) optimized for

You can use Btrfs in the guest to get at least notification of SDC.
Yes, but I'd rather not depend on all potential guest OSes having btrfs
or something similar.
Another way is to put a conventional fs image on e.g. GlusterFS with
checksumming
Hi,
thank you all for your helpful comments.
From what I've read, I forged the following guidelines (for myself;
ymmv):
- Use btrfs for generic data storage on spinning disks and for
everything on ssds.
- Use zfs for spinning disks that may be used for cow-unfriendly
workloads, like vm

Hi,
I recently created a new btrfs on two disks - one 6TB, one 2TB - for
temporary backup purposes.
It apparently defaulted to raid0 for data, and I didn't realize at the
time that this would become a problem.
Now the 2TB is almost full, and df tells me I only have about 200GB of
free space.

Regular 'df' isn't to be trusted when dealing with BTRFS, the only
reason we report anything there is because many things break horribly
if we don't.
Yeah, I noticed. Seems to produce a reasonable guess, though.
Additionally, while
Hi Chris,
first off, thank you for the detailled explanations!

You are right, but all I was after in the first place was a way to

Once you start this command all the new data should follow the new

Ah, now that's interesting.

I see. (Kindof)
Such a switch doesn't exist, there's no way to define what files,
directories, or subvolumes, have what profiles.
