Ancan Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) Hi, I just finished converting all my drives to btrfs, for no other reason that I want to use the snapshot feature. Mainly I want to perform hot incremental backups of my (cache-stored) VM's and send the snapshots to a backup directory on the array. So I was a bit disappointed when I see I can't use btrfs features on the user shares. Creating a subvolume on a user-share just gives the error "ERROR: not a btrfs filesystem". I guess the driver providing the unified name space doesn't pass through these things. Are there any workarounds for this, except using a dedicated disk for the backups and access it directly? Thanks, Anders Edited October 17, 2019 by Ancan spelling Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Each array disk in Unraid is a separate filesystem, this has many advantages but also some disadvantages, you'll need to use a disk share instead of user share for that. Quote Link to comment
