rutherford Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I've ran into an issue of some btrfs file corruption on my primary cache drive, includes appdata. Will installing a second drive as a cache pool help avoid this sort of thing in the future? I'm not concerned with speed, only reliability. Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Doubtful. BTRFS corruption seems to be more linked to hardware robustness, in particular, RAM stability. XFS seems to either handle marginal systems better, or just not report corruption, it's hard to know which for sure. My opinion is the extra space would be better served as a backup destination rather than a redundant pool member. 1 Quote Link to comment
rutherford Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 Over here I'm troubleshooting this issue. I amazon'ed a CPU and RAM ... and additional cache drive, so I'm going to git'er'dun. You suggest using the additional drive for drive to store the appdata backups? from Backup, via CA Backup, and leave those tar files over there? Sounds good! thank you. Quote Link to comment
