I’ve always wondered, given the warnings in documentation, if there are any people brave enough to try Btrfs in a RAID5/6 configuration. Has anyone here actually tried it with “real” data?
it’s still unstable and shouldn’t be used for anything except testing
Some people in the comments of this claims to use it with real data https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.2-Btrfs-EXT4
If you use it don’t forget to use RAID1 for metadata
Given how flexible RAID1 in btrfs is, I don’t really see any benefit in using RAID5/6.
Yes.
I’d like to hear more. Are you still using it? What’s kind of data do/did you store on it?
