I've been running MythTV for about 10 years now and I've finally outgrown my media storage, currently a single 4TB disk drive. I have purchased 3 additional drives of the same model and plan to put them into a BTRFS RAID1 array. Setting nodatacow on the media directories is a no-brainer, but what

I'm getting significant iowait while writing to a 100GB file. I have already made it nocow by copying it to another directory, marking the director nocow (+C) and using cat to re-create it from scratch. I was under the impression that this should fix the problem. On a tangent, it took about 30

I think this is one of the corner cases for BTRFS as most people want the opposite behavior, but on one computer I run MythTV and it manages how many recordings to keep based on the available free space. Once free space comes down to a certain threshold it starts expiring older recordings.
