April 23, 20242 yr Good day, Got a few question. Before I ask, I am expecting to add one more 12 TB drive this week. Question : Did I do my setup right? BTRFS usually good for cache? Notice drive are in XFS not ZFS is that bad? Wanted ZFS as it seem to be the hot thing right now lol. Just forgot to change the default to ZFS. Should I try to convert from XFS to ZFS? I was able to add my new drive as ZFS at first and on the same pool was a mix of ZFS and XFS?????? Still have hard time to understand the ZFS part. Edited April 23, 20242 yr by patthe

Just forgot to change the default to ZFS. For the array we recommend xfs for the typical user, if you want checksums/snapshots for the array then I would recommend btrfs over zfs, since there's currently a known write performance issue with zfs (on the array only). Zfs for pools is a good option, and for raid5 is the best option.
