Questions:
If I use BTRFS for /home (that's the default, right?), can I
easily turn off
* copy-on-write,
* compression,
* encryption, and
* (maybe) data deduplication
for /home, but still easily use those capabilities on a few scattered
files and sub-directories within /home?
Am I correct in thinking that all top level directories other than
/home
must use specific file systems and I should not concern myself with
those, but use the defaults?
Unless the defaults conflict with your use case, there are advantages
to sticking
with defaults. Lots of other users will also be using defaults, and
maybe some with
hardware similar to yours, so if you encounter an issue, the chances
others can
reproduce it are much greater than if you are using a one-off
configuration.
I understand. Good point. Thank-you, George.
There are risks which ever way I go. And as I mentioned in another
post, there are private aspects to this, including lessons painfully
learned the hard way.
Which ever of the 4 things I listed are defaults, I want them off!
