|
Hello,
Anyone using btrfs raid5/6 ? (I plan to do a raid6 with 6x hdd, currently on a 4x hdd btrfs raid10, without issue)
I read it is considered dangerous online but maybe it is not now ? (Almost 2025)
Or should I forget about it and go for mdadm/lvm + xfs/ext4 instead ?
Thanks. |

IIRC it's far from being declared stable.
And chances are it won't be for a long while...

You should then go with btrfs-raid1 with three copies.
That'll guarantee you raid6 like failure protection.
Although lvm+xfs isn't a bad choice either. _________________ ..: Zucca :..
