tylah337 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 So i was just wondering i have an array of 5 hdd 2x parity 3x disks which i use to save extremely important medical patient data and surgery videos. i have a raid 1 nvme cache for my VMs. All of them are on btrfs, i m wondering if there is anything to gain from swapping to zfs? I did my online search and watched spaceinvaders videos on zfs but cannot draw a clear conclusion, thank you in advance for any replies! Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted April 2, 2023 Solution Share Posted April 2, 2023 btrfs is usually reliable for single and raid1 filesystems, assuming good/reliable hardware, still zfs if nothing else is better at recovering for example from a raid1 dropped device, so if it were me I would probably convert the cache pool, array not for now, in part becuase there are still some write performance issues with zfs when used on the array. 2 Quote Link to comment
